Bidspirit auction | This 20th-century oil on board

This 20th-century oil on board painting depicts a multi-masted sailing vessel resting on a mudflat at low tide. The composition is executed in a tonal palette of greys, browns, and creams, utilising heavy impasto and palette knife techniques to create significant surface texture, particularly evident in the turbulent sky and the foreground. The painting is unsigned. It is housed in a decorative composite frame featuring a cream-coloured profile and ornate silver-toned borders.
