About the Item
George Emerick Essig
(American, 1838-1923)

George Emerick Essig was born in Philadelphia and reputedly studied with the marine painters James Hamilton (1819–1878) and Edward Moran (1829–1901). He also became a specialist in marine scenes and often painted the New Jersey coast. Essig exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1876 to 1888. He moved to Atlantic City, possibly around 1880, and practiced dentistry in Ventnor. Paintings by him once hung in Dennis Hotel and Chalfont-Haddon Hall in Atlantic City. Essig’s primary medium was watercolor, but in the late 1880s and early 1890s he made etchings that were usually based on the subjects of his paintings. Some sources give his death date as 1919, but his headstone in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd PA lists 1923. A large number of Essig’s works are owned by the Reading Public Museum and Art Gallery in Reading, Pennsylvania.

A Fishing Boat at Sea, Late Mid-Century Gouache on Paper
Located in Cotignac, FR
French gouache on paper of a boat travelling the seas. The work is unsigned but dated 22/11/70. Presented in simple gilt frame with handcut mount.
A really engaging and powerful painting. The artist has managed to capture the swell of the sea, the movement of the boat listing gently to one side, the slightly rusty hull, the moody sky filled with all the seagulls following behind, which suggests it might be a fishing boat. They have used a limited but strong colour palette, blues, blacks and greys and then just to highlight and catch the eye a splash of green to represent the starboard or right bow light.
