About the Item

In Gloucester Boats, Florence Prince Ewing captures the character and rhythm of New England’s working waterfront. The composition centers on two fishing vessels tied to a weathered dock, one marked with a simple “For Sale” sign that adds a poignant touch of narrative to the scene. Painted with a confident hand, the green hull of the boat reflects vibrantly in the shifting water, its ripples alive with strokes of gold, brown, and blue. Overhead, gulls circle and swoop, animating the harbor with movement and sound. Ewing’s use of light conveys the salty brightness of Gloucester, one of America’s most storied fishing ports. The slanting rooflines, dock pilings, and calm water anchor the viewer in place, offering both a documentary glimpse and an artistic interpretation of maritime life. This painting balances grit and beauty, showing the industry of the waterfront while celebrating its atmosphere and charm.
