Mid-Century Abstract Nautical Seascape Oil Painting

This is an original abstract landscape painting, likely an oil or acrylic on canvas, depicting a coastal scene with boats or harbor structures. The artwork features a muted, cool-toned color palette dominated by slate blues, grays, whites, and charcoal, with subtle earthen undertones. The style is heavily influenced by mid-20th-century abstraction, utilizing thick, expressive brushstrokes and a possible impasto technique that adds tactile texture to the surface. The composition is horizontally oriented, centered around a complex silhouette of masts and hulls that appear to be docked or moored. The painting is housed in a minimalist, narrow silver-toned metal frame, typical of gallery framing from the 1960s or 1970s. While a signature is visible in the lower right corner, it is currently illegible in the provided image. The work shows signs of consistent age; the surface appears stable, though there is some light glare on the finish. The overall craftsmanship suggests a professional hand, characterized by a confident balance between representational nautical forms and evocative gestural abstraction. The piece captures a atmospheric, moody quality through its layered application of pigment and deconstructed maritime subject matter.
