Jack Spurling (British, 1870–1933), 'Three-Masted Sailing Ship at Sea', (Signed) This maritime work is executed in watercolor with opaque gouache highlights on wove paper, attributed to the renowned marine artist Jack Spurling (British, 1870–1933).

It is presented in an off-white mat and a black-finished frame featuring a narrow gold-toned inner lip.
