About the Item

This evocative 19th century oil painting on canvas portrays a tender moment as a fisherman returns with his catch to his two daughters on the tranquil, moonlit shores of a sea bay beside their fishing hut. Presumably painted by an unknown Scandinavian artist, this landscape - executed in the romantic nocturne style reminiscent of the works of Sebastian Pether (19th century British artist) - reflects a touching moment of family reunion. The artist masterfully employs a limited palette dominated by deep blue, grays, and the luminous glow of the moon reflected on the water. This evokes a sense of depth and atmosphere, filling the scene with romantic resonance and a light, airy quality. There's a sense of stillness in the air, broken only by the gentle lapping of water against the shore... The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow transforms a simple scene into a poetic and evocative visual narrative. Size app.: 29 × 43 cm (roughly 11.4 x 17 in), frame 40 × 54.2 cm (roughly 15.7 x 21.3 in). Overall in very good well-preserved condition with just minor wear, scratches, likely few retouches. Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 1.7 kg is going to measure 3 kg packed for shipment.
