Seaman Painting For Sale on 1stDibs

Surely you’ll find the exact seaman painting you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. In our selection of items, you can find modern examples as well as a Impressionist version. Finding the perfect seaman painting may mean sifting through those created during different time periods — you can find an early version that dates to the 18th Century and a newer variation that were made as recently as the 21st Century. Adding a seaman painting to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — find a piece on 1stDibs that incorporates elements of gray, brown, black, blue and more. A seaman painting from David Rosen (b.1912), Ronald Brooks Kitaj, Michael Wolf, Wedo Georgetti and Jean Dupas — each of whom created distinctive versions of this kind of work — is worth considering. Frequently made by artists working in paint, oil paint and fabric, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years. A large seaman painting can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller seaman painting, measuring 5 high and 2.25 wide, may better suit your needs.

How Much is a Seaman Painting?

The average selling price for a seaman painting we offer is $3,225, while they’re typically $135 on the low end and $83,813 for the highest priced.
