A maritime painting in a folk art style, depicting a multi-masted sailing vessel navigating turbulent seas with white-capped waves. The composition features a dark-hulled ship with simplified rigging and white sails, set against an atmospheric background composed of scumbled ochre and grey tones. The work is characterised by expressive brushwork and significant impasto used to create texture in the crests of the waves. The painting is signed with the initials MAR and dated 91 in the upper right corner. It is housed in a dark wooden frame with a narrow gilt inner slip and is mounted behind glass.
Condition report:
The painting appears to be in good overall condition. There is some minor surface dust and debris trapped under the glazing. The frame exhibits light surface wear and minor scuffing consistent with age.
