Attrib. Edward Tucker (1825-1909) - Mid 19th Century Watercolour Rough Seas

Description

A fine and delicate late 19th century watercolour attributed to the English painter Edward Tucker. Here the artist has captured large sailing ships and fishing boats battling the rough seas. With touches of body colour. We have attributed the work to Tucker due to the similarities in the handling of the medium and the faint signature at the lower right. Signed. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and minor foxing. Overall the condition is very good.
