Seascape Watercolor or Print of Fishing Luggers

This rectangular artwork depicts a tranquil maritime scene featuring several traditional fishing luggers and smaller rowboats navigating calm coastal waters at what appears to be dawn or dusk. The palette is dominated by muted earth tones, blues, and pale yellows, creating a hazy, atmospheric effect. The central subjects are two larger gaff-rigged vessels with distinctive sails—one showing a circular emblem on its mainsail—accompanied by smaller dories, one of which has a visible figure rowing in the foreground. The piece appears to be executed on a flat substrate, likely paper or cardstock, and may be an original watercolor or a mid-20th-century lithographic print. Condition-wise, the work shows significant signs of age and wear. Most notably, there is prominent foxing (brown spotting) clustered in the upper center and right edges of the sky. The edges of the board show minor fraying and wear, and there is a circular glare on the surface indicating it may have a semi-gloss finish. A small, illegible signature or mark is visible in the bottom right corner. The style is reminiscent of early-to-mid 20th-century European maritime art, often produced for decorative domestic use. The lack of a frame suggests it has been removed from its original housing, exposing the vulnerable edges of the support material.
