Bidspirit auction | A 20th-century maritime scene executed

A 20th-century maritime scene executed in oil on hardboard, depicting a derelict two-masted sailing vessel grounded on a shoreline. The composition features the ship in the mid-ground set against a heavy, overcast sky, with vertical timber sea defenses visible in the background. The artist has used an expressive technique with significant impasto, particularly in the sky and the textured foreground. The reverse of the work shows the hardboard support and a small framing label with the printed text PICTURE FRAMING and handwritten notations 6620 11/40. No signature is visible on the front of the work.
