20th Century Oil on Canvas Naval Battle Scene - A large-scale oil on canvas depicting a dramatic naval boarding battle between two historical sailing ships. The painting is executed with a dynamic, illustrative technique on a stretched canvas support. Numerous figures are shown in mid-combat, scaling rigging and engaging in close-quarters fighting across the decks of the two vessels. The composition is centered on the kinetic energy of the conflict, featuring bold brushwork and a prominent golden lion figurehead. Dark textured marks are visible in the lower-left corner area but do not resolve into a legible name, and no other maker's marks are present. 175cm wide 118cm tall
