: Beautiful marine from the end of the 19th century, oil on canvas representing a three-masted vessel in difficulty in rough seas at the foot of rocky cliffs. Dramatic light with heavy skies and seafoam highlighted by the delicate touch - classic marine workshop style. Presented in its original frame in gilded stuccoed wood with carved foliage motifs, mounted with a key (removable frame, sign of quality at the end of the 19th century). Canvas 50 × 31 cm, frame 73 × 53 cm. Old chassis with keys on the reverse, reinforcement crosspiece, homogeneous patina. Good condition consistent with its age: oxidation of the varnish giving a warm tint, no missing or tears noted, patinated gilding of the frame. Ideal decorative piece for classic interior, library or office.
