Mid-Century Nautical Serigraph of Harbor Boats

This item is an original limited edition print, likely a serigraph or woodcut, executed in high-contrast black ink on a light cream-toned paper. The composition features a nautical scene depicting several sailboats or fishing vessels moored in a harbor. The artistic style is expressive and gestural, utilizing heavy, bold black strokes to define the hulls and vertical lines for the masts, characteristic of mid-20th-century modernist movements. The print is numbered '3/25' in the lower-left corner and features an illegible artist's signature followed by the year '68' in the lower-right margin, suggesting it was produced in 1968. Based on the provided dimensions (2596 x 1861 pixels), the physical paper appears to be of a large format. The condition shows visible signs of aging and wear: the paper exhibits significant cockling (waving) and creasing, particularly along the left edge and corners, indicating it has been stored unframed or in a humid environment. There is light foxing and overall yellowing of the paper stock consistent with age. The craftsmanship reflects a confident use of negative space, where the off-white paper represents the water and sky against the saturated black pigment.
