Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1940s.
Ekman’s spirited portrayal seeks to capture more than the event itself. With expression, gesture and free-flowing brushwork, he imbues the scene with a sense of poetry. It’s early and the boat is at one with nature, its furled sail penetrates the sky. The nets are dropped, an age-old tradition, as another day unfolds off the Swedish coast.
Ekman often painted marine scenes - he loved the ocean and admired those that relied upon it.
