This beautiful painting, due to its very high quality of execution, style and era, can be referred to the great artist Warren Sheppard, who specialized in seascapes.
Of great evocative power, this painting excites because of the atmosphere the artist was able to create.
The ships with their sails unfurled in the roadstead, the faded harbor in the background and the characters in the foreground make this painting a small masterpiece.
This painting, never before on the market, comes from a private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition.
