Description
This antique original art is a moonlit seascape pastel painting. The composition features a dramatic night scene with a full moon breaking through clouds to illuminate a turbulent ocean. Waves are depicted crashing against a rocky shore in the foreground with white foam highlights, while a sailing vessel is silhouetted on the horizon. The work is executed in a Tonalist style with a palette of deep greens and blues. It is housed in a large period-style frame featuring a dark textured inner border and a wide gilded outer moulding with a scalloped gadrooned design. The back is sealed with brown paper and includes a hanging wire. No signature is visible on the front of the artwork. This appears to be pastel – and could be William Henry Chandler.
Length 4’ x 25.5 inches
Depth: 2 inches.
Condition report:
The frame shows minor cracking and small losses to the composition material at the mitered corners. Light surface grime is present on the face of the painting. Clean no odor home.
