Description

This atmospheric oil study by Sarah Louise Kilpack (1839-1909) depicts intense sea waves crashing against the small tidal island of St. Catharine's rock, Tenby. A young family can be seen in the middle of the composition caught out in this treacherous storm. With their backs to the viewer the figures are pictured glancing out across the dangerous waters at the fatal shipwreck to the right of St. Catharine's. The painting is signed to the lower left. Well presented in a gilt-effect frame. On board.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration caused by a buildup of surface dirt and nicotine. Signs of wear and tear to the gilt frame include several light surface marks and scratches on all four members.
