Sailboats at Night (Impressionist Painting)

This is an oil painting depicting sailboats on the water at night or dusk. The composition features three main sailboats with their sails in vibrant colors: red, yellow, green, and blue, reflected in the dark water below. There are also smaller, less defined reflections of boats or lights in the distance. The style is impressionistic with thick impasto brushstrokes, particularly visible in the sails and reflections, giving the painting a textured surface. The dominant color in the background is a deep blue-black, representing the water and sky. The painting is framed in a simple, thin gold-colored wooden frame with minimal ornamentation. There is a signature in the lower right corner that appears to read "VERVOORT" or something similar. The painting is in good visible condition with no apparent tears or significant damage. The frame shows some minor wear consistent with age, such as small scuffs or scratches along the edges, and potentially some slight tarnishing of the gold finish. This piece likely dates to the mid to late 20th century based on the style and framing.
