Atmospheric maritime oil painting depicting a solitary sailing vessel beneath moonlight, executed in a restrained tonal palette with strong Northern European influence.
Painted in 1939 and retaining its original period character, the work shows confident handling of light and reflection, with calm water, softened horizons and a quietly evocative nocturnal mood. The style deliberately echoes 19th-century seascape traditions, a conservative but skilled approach still favoured by maritime painters in the interwar years.
The canvas is signed and dated 1939, with the signature remaining partially indistinct. Presented in a sympathetic early 20th-century frame.
A substantial, decorative maritime painting with real wall presence.
Age related wear including scuffs to the frame and craquelure.
