Lowry’s matchstick crowds, drawn from the industrial streets of his native Salford, remain among the most recognisable images in twentieth-century British painting — his 1953 work Going to the Match holding the record as the most expensive Lowry ever sold at auction. Henty’s homage takes up the same subject: a crowd of football supporters streaming toward a match beneath smoking factory chimneys, rendered in Lowry’s flattened perspective and chalky, muted palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenty has spoken openly about the discipline required to convincingly recreate another artist’s hand, and Lowry’s deceptively simple, almost naive figures are notoriously difficult to imitate well. This version is signed “L.S. Cowry” within the composition, a deliberate near-homophone rather than a forged signature, consistent with Henty’s practice of declaring his homages rather than disguising them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOil on canvas, by David Henty, in homage to L.S.
