Marine - Cliff and sailboats offshore

Oil on canvasboard, unsigned

Seascape study: a dark mass of rocky cliff on the left, calm sea opening toward the horizon, and a bright sky in tones of cream, pink, and pearl gray. Offshore, two small sailboats with traditional rigging stand out in silhouette, along with a boat near the coast. A study-like execution, fluid brushwork, and a lovely atmosphere of veiled light.



Dimensions: 25 x 33 cm
Technique: oil on canvasboard
Period: late 19th / early 20th century
Unsigned. No inscription, label, or stamp on the back. General dirtiness with a surface veil across the composition, chips and rubbing along the edges and corners, and slightly crushed board at the corners — all visible in the detailed photographs. Sold as is, without frame. A light professional cleaning would probably reveal noticeably fresher colors and more legible light.

Contractual front and back photographs, with several detail views. Carefully shipped in reinforced packaging.
