Description: This atmospheric early 18th-century oil painting presents a dramatic harbor scene with tall sailing ships, likely merchant or naval vessels, anchored near a fortified coastline. The scene is set against a backdrop of imposing clouds that stretch across the sky, adding depth and mood to the composition. The artist has expertly captured the contrast between the illuminated areas of the sky and water with the shadowed cliffs and ships, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.

Born in 1924 in Maryland USA. This artist was self - taught, but after intensive study of the great master techniques and methods, has interpreted them into a very personal and unique style. Bensons subtle blend of colors, lightening and attention to detail, adds to the mood and character of the subject.
