Lot 294A: Bart (20th Century), A Three-Masted Sailing Ship in Choppy Seas, Oil on Board
A mid-20th-century marine seascape painting executed in oil on board. The composition features a three-masted sailing vessel in full sail, navigating through a turbulent sea with white-capped waves. The sky is rendered in muted tones of grey and blue, suggesting an overcast atmosphere. The artist has used an expressive technique with visible brushwork and impasto highlights, particularly in the churning water and on the wind-filled sails. The work is signed Bart in white paint in the lower right quadrant. It is presented in a decorative, gilt-finished swept composition frame featuring scrolled foliate and shell-motif mouldings.
Condition report:
The painting is in good overall condition with some light surface dirt. The frame shows minor signs of wear and slight thinning to the gilding in places, which is typical for its age. There are no obvious signs of paint loss, craquelure, or previous restoration.
