Description

An atmospheric maritime scene by Frank Lewis Emanuel (1866-1948) depicting sailing vessels moored at Paimpol, Brittany, where sails, masts and rigging create structure against a moody, cloud-laden sky. The artist employs a muted, earthy palette to capture the industrial character of the harbour. Well presented in a gilt-effect frame with canvas slip. Signed lower right. Signed and inscribed on the original Society of Marine Artists exhibition label verso. On panel.

Condition

A light, even patina of age is present across the surface of the artwork. Minor abrasions to the upper third of the composition. The frame has minor surface wear, including small scuffs and discolouration to the canvas slip. The overall condition of the artwork is very good.
