About the Item

This charming and rare hand-painted stone by the renowned artist Ilya Schor beautifully captures a serene harbor scene in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The miniature artwork, painted directly onto the smooth surface of the stone, showcases Schor’s delicate brushwork and keen attention to detail, transforming a natural object into a work of art. The composition depicts a coastal pier at low tide, with cylindrical wooden posts deeply entrenched in the water, supporting the raised boardwalk above. Along the pier, numerous boats are docked, their masts and rigging adding vertical contrast to the scene. A large boathouse with a dark pitched roof stands prominently on the pier, evoking the rustic charm of a working waterfront. Beyond the boathouse, the background reveals a picturesque townscape, with greenery and buildings nestled into the landscape, suggesting the vibrant yet tranquil character of Provincetown’s historic seafront. The foreground features rolling waves, with fluid brushstrokes capturing the rhythmic motion of the water, enhancing the maritime atmosphere. Schor’s folk-art-inspired style, combined with the organic shape of the stone, makes this piece a unique and collectible artifact. It embodies the essence of Provincetown’s harbor life, where land, sea, and community intertwine. An exceptional find for collectors of Ilya Schor’s work, maritime art, or hand-painted folk pieces, this stone is a true testament to the artist’s ability to infuse everyday objects with storytelling and charm.
