Seabirds skim across the waves beneath a pale, atmospheric sky, capturing the lively character of the Dutch coastline at the beginning of the 20th century. Presented in a handsome ornate antique gilt frame with richly decorated borders. The complete signature and date is partially under the lower right rebate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the composition, a small steam vessel with a distinctive red, white and black funnel travels alongside a traditional fishing boat with raised sails. Dark smoke rises into the sky as the vessels make their way through rolling green-grey waves. The Netherlands has a particularly rich tradition of maritime painting, reflecting the country’s centuries-long relationship with fishing, shipping and international trade. The combination of the steam vessel, traditional fishing boats and restless North Sea gives the painting a wonderful sense of movement and historical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period. The antique gilt frame retains a beautiful historic patina, with expected rubbing, marks and minor wear to the decorative finish. The signature and date are situated close to the lower edge of the painting and are partially concealed when framed. An additional photograph shows the inscription with the painting removed from its frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDutch School\u003cbr\u003eDated 1903\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003eDutch maritime scene with steam vessel and fishing boats\u003cbr\u003eSigned lower right, partially concealed by the frame\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eOrnate antique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 18.90 inch (48cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 25.20 inch (64cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 2.56 inch (6.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 13.78 inch (35cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 19.69 inch (50cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
