Lot 586: Mai Parry, Three figurative oil paintings on board including pub interior and narrative scenes

A trio of unframed oil paintings on board by Mai Parry, featuring diverse figurative and narrative subjects. The largest composition depicts a lively British pub interior with multiple figures engaged in conversation and reading newspapers. The scene includes characterful details such as framed portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and a boxer on the walls. This panel is signed Mai Parry in red paint in the lower left corner.

The second painting illustrates a narrative internal scene featuring two bearded men in traditional-style robes at a table. One figure holds a human skull while bones are scattered on the green tabletop. A third figure is visible walking through an open doorway in the background.

The third work is a multi-panel composition. The left side shows a large group of men in long robes on a reddish-brown ground, while the right side is divided into three horizontal registers, each featuring a central figure with a golden halo appearing amidst stylised white clouds. All three works are executed with visible impasto brushwork and a consistent, expressive figurative style.
