Ancient English naval painting

Oil painting on canvas – London – Late Queen Victoria era – Late 1800s, early 1900s – Signed – Original frame.

Large English oil on canvas, late Queen Victoria era, circa early 1900s with ebonized wooden frame and edged in worked gold.

The subject and dimensions make this antiquity not easy to recover: a large majestic sailing ship sails safely in the turbulent waters of the Thames.

In the London skyline on the horizon, we recognize the dome of the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral.

Signature unfortunately illegible, but given the aesthetics, good hand of the artist.

Patina and wear, but perfect antiquity.
