Antique 19th Century French Impressionist Oil Painting Old Seascape Ship Boat

  
EXCEPTIONAL 19TH CENTURY FRENCH ANTIQUE SEASCAPE IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS. THIS WORK DEPICTS A BUSTLING MARITIME SCENE SKILLFULLY RENDERED WITH DYNAMIC AND ENERGETIC BRUSHSTROKES. THE PAINTING CONVEYS A SENSE OF MOVEMENT AND LIVELINESS WITH CREW MEMBERS ON BOARD, THEIR FORMS SUGGESTED RATHER THAN DETAILED. THE SEA ITSELF IS A CENTRAL ELEMENT, PAINTED WITH RICH TEXTURES THAT CONVEY MOVEMENT AND VARIABILITY. THIS IS A MASTERFUL AND CAPTIVATING PAINTING. IT IS SIGNED IN THE LOWER RIGHTHAND CORNER.

PERHAPS YOU RECOGNIZE THE ARTIST? IT IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD. THERE'S MILD PAINT LOSS IN THE TOP LEFTHAND CORNER AS SHOWN. IT DOES NOT DETRACT FROM ITS BEAUTY IN ANY WAY.

DIMENSIONS INCLUDING THE FRAME: 34" W x 23" H. DIMENSIONS WITHOUT THE FRAME: 27" W x 15" H.
