Framed Oil Painting of a Naval Battle Scene Signed 'Miki'

This is an original oil painting on canvas or board depicting a dramatic Mid-Century maritime warfare scene. The composition features a large, dark-hulled warship tilting amidst a violent sea, with a large plume of orange and black smoke rising from its midsection, suggesting an explosion or fire. In the upper left corner, an aircraft is shown engulfed in flames, trailing streaks across a blue sky. To the right, high-contrast white paint creates the effect of a massive water splash from a shell impact. The style is expressionistic with thick, visible impasto brushwork, particularly in the waves and smoke. It is signed 'Miki' in the lower right corner. The piece is housed in a multi-tiered wooden frame featuring a dark outer edge and a textured, golden-leaf or bronze-finished inner border with leaf-and-dart carving. The inner linen liner shows significant yellowing and staining, particularly along the bottom edge, indicating age and exposure to moisture or environmental acidity. The painting's subject matter and framing style suggest it dates to the mid-20th century, likely the 1960s or 1970s, and appears to be a piece of commercial or enthusiast naval art.
