Framed Watercolor Maritime Landscape of Coastal Building and Boat

This item is an original watercolor painting on textured rag paper, depicting a serene maritime scene. The composition features a two-story coastal building, likely a boathouse or seafood shack, situated on a pier or shoreline. In the foreground, a small dory or skiff is anchored on calm water, with its reflection visible on the surface. The color palette is dominated by moody blues, greys, and earth tones (sepia and burnt umber), suggesting an overcast day or dusk. The artist utilized wet-on-wet techniques for the sky and water to create soft, atmospheric transitions, juxtaposed with more defined brushwork on the structures. A handwritten signature, which appears to read 'M. Corsley' or similar, is located in the bottom right corner in dark pigment. The artwork is housed behind glass within a light-colored mat board. Regarding condition, the paper appears to have some slight undulation or 'cockling,' which is common for watercolors on paper. The matting shows some minor discoloration along the inner edge. The style is mid-to-late 20th-century impressionistic realism. The craftsmanship is evident in the confident handling of the watercolor medium, particularly the atmospheric lighting and the balanced use of negative space in the transition between sea and sky.
