Antique Seascape Steam Frigate Oil Painting on Canvas

Item Details

An antique seascape oil painting on canvas. This original work depicts a highly detailed US Navy steam frigate afloat on a smoky blue body of water in what appears to be the Naples region. An American flag is visible amidst the ship’s intricate rigging and an active volcano, presumably Vesuvius, can be seen to the distant left side of the piece. The work is unsigned and is presented on unstretched canvas.

Condition

- canvas is not stretched and appears to have been cut out of a frame.
- painting would benefit from restoration; paint loss and several tears and holes are present.
- painting has been stored folded.
