Executed in a classic Old Master style, this beautiful, beautiful antique portrait of a young woman will haunt you... I know, I've been looking at it for some time now.

$895 USD Offers ConsideredMaritime Oil on Canvas of a Ship Under Full Sail
Fine Art:Paintings
A lovely oil on canvas of a ship, I believe it's a 17th C or 18th C bark or schooner, under full sail with a brisk wind. There are cumulus clouds, and a couple of other sailing ships in the distance on a choppy sea. This fine oil is done with a sure hand by a highly skilled artist. The impression of a windy, somewhat overcast day is evocative of salt spray and fresh air. Very nice. The ship is flying a Polish flag, and the signature, although hard to read, shows the last four letters of the ...

This intimate painting captures a quiet moment of contemplation. A woman sits in a yellow chair fanning herself, her embroidered shawl slung carelessly over the arm. This sweet little watercolor is done with a very sure hand. The woman's posture and gestures are as graceful as the drape of her skirt and the fringe on her shawl. These details are all just right, and the closer you look, the more you see. I never knew there were so many subtle variations of black, and the rendering of the watered ...

A lovely scene of a bend in the Amper River whose picturesque, scenic banks have long attracted landscape artists. This is a finely rendered painting with the curve of the river leading the eye to a group of farm buildings whose snowy roofs reflect the winter sun. Signed on the lower right "R. Edenhofer 12", the verso bears an old note identifying the artist and the scene in German, along with some additional information I can't make out.

$145 USD Offers ConsideredPennsylvania "Standard" Barn with Overhang - Watercolor Landscape
Fine Art:Paintings
A large watercolor of a Pennsylvania "Standard" barn, as pictured and described in Eric Sloan's "America." There are no leaves on the trees, but a few early spring flowers are peeking up out of the ground. The air appears thin and crisply cold, and the sky is a bit moody, but spring can't be far behind. A nice, evocative watercolor. Condition is good. I have not opened the back of this painting, and there are a few specks that have gotten in there over the last 50 years or so, but really nothing ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredNaive Folk Painting of Pansies - Stunning Antique Frame - Oil - Folk Art - Still Life
Fine Art:Paintings
A marvelous folk painting with all the exuberance of an untrained effort. This simple oil on board is bright and happy; it will make you smile every time you look at it, I promise. Naive paintings like this one are among my own personal favorites. The beautiful antique frame is an intricate, compound gilt molding, very lavish (one element is even water gilded), and the perfect foil for the simplicity of this straightforward image. Condition is very nice. There has been a bit of flaking at the ...
$3,450 USD Offers Considered19th C French Oil on Canvas - Portrait - Romantic Winter, Snow, or Christmas Scene
Fine Art:Paintings
Unapologetically romantic, this beguiling young woman dressed in a scarlet fur trimmed cape and hood. She holds her typically Victorian winter muff, decorated with blue violets, and smilies out at us across the years. I wonder, are those violets a harbinger of spring, or a badge of faithfulness? The Victorians, after all, were versed in 'floriography', the language of flowers which they used for secret coded messages. The listed French artist, Maurice Jacquet, was born in Paris in 1877. A pupil ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredTreachery on Ice in Grisaille - F. Holland 1920
Fine Art:Paintings
A delightful watercolor painting of a young ice skater escaping the pursuit of a goateed villain by strewing sand on the ice. Well rendered and painted in grisaille with expressive characters and action, this painting has the look of an illustration, certainly suggesting an embroiled narrative, but I'm not sure what the whole story might be. Condition is fine with no problems to report. The piece is beautifully framed with a linen mat and inner gilded filet adding a bit of gravitas to a spirited ...
SOLDSOLD Mid Century Oil on Canvas in Fauvist Style
Fine Art:Paintings
An interesting painting of a group of people laden with heavy burdens struggling to the top of a hill. Their destination is a mystery, but the effort of the climb is symbolic in itself. There is a sense that the people are fleeing. The trees curve around them in a protective embrace, and the geometric indication of many fields as blocks of color on the slope suggests a long journey. Condition is fine with no problems to report. The frame looks to be Mid Century, as do the canvas and stretchers. ...

Fine Art:Paintings
A striking painting of sailing ships moored off a distant purple shore waiting for the dark. This is a peaceful image, you can almost feel the gentle rocking of the waves.

SOLDSOLD Beach Scene w/ Fishing Shacks & Lobster Pots - Oil on Board - Landscape
Fine Art:Paintings
A lovely landscape painting depicting a beach with cottages or fishing shacks and lobster pots. There's a lot of detail packed into this piece; all painted in a loose, impressionistic style I believe this is a New England scene. The pile of old-fashioned lobster pots in front of one cottage are reminiscent of what coastal New England once looked like, and I found the painting in New England. The marks of the waves on the sand suggest a path and draw ones eye down the beach. Imagine walking right ...| Items 1 - 25 of 25 | Page 1 of 1 |
