A framed maritime artwork on paper executed in a monochromatic sepia-toned wash or watercolour. The composition depicts several masted sailing vessels, resembling Thames barges, moored or at low tide near a shoreline under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky at dusk or dawn. The work is presented within an oval-cut aperture of a rectangular sage green mount and housed in a moulded natural wood frame with a glazed front. No signature, date, or inscription is visible on the front of the artwork.
Condition report:
The paper support and mount exhibit visible foxing and staining throughout. There is overall toning to the paper consistent with age. The wooden frame shows minor scuffs and surface wear.
