Night Seascape Oil Painting

A very interesting and capable oil on panel depicting a boat on the sea at night. The work is very beautifully handled in the French Impressionist manner using thick oil paint applied quickly by brush and palette knife. It is extremely difficult to paint the night and hear it is done superbly. The light of the moon has changed the colour of night to shades of sepia, moonlit highlights are in white and all colour is drained except the artificial green light aboard the ship. The technique used also allows the base texture of the wooden board to show through in places as part of the work, for example the town on the shoreline in the distance. It is all very cleverly done. The painting is in good condition with the odd very minor piece of touching in. The work is signed to the lower right however it is illegible, I would expect it to be by a French artist of high regard. The frame is the original, has a silvered gold finish which works very well with the painting. The whole is an interesting and decorative piece. C.1920.
