拍品专文

Noël Coward fell in love with Jamaica whilst holidaying there in 1948, staying at Goldeneye, Ian Fleming’s island retreat. He subsequently built his own home further along the coast and named it Blue Harbour, later building three guest cottages in the grounds and the beautiful swimming pool by the seashore that is depicted in the present work. Blue Harbour quickly became a mecca for Coward’s friends and the post-war ‘celebrity set’ of stage and screen.
