Framed Original Nautical Watercolor Painting signed 'KF'
This item is an original watercolor painting on paper, depicting a harbor scene with a dry-docked or beached red fishing trawler as the central focal point. The artwork is characterized by a soft, impressionistic style with a muted color palette including shades of ochre, sage green, and earthy browns, contrasted by the vibrant red of the boat's hull and cabin. In the background, a hazy coastline with rolling hills and a small seaside village featuring a white steeple is visible under a cloudy sky. The foreground shows weathered wooden pier fragments or debris. The painting bears the artist's initials 'KF' in white paint in the lower right corner. It is professionally housed in an ivory-colored mat and a thin, polished gold-toned metal frame behind glass. The overall composition suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century creation, possibly of a New England or maritime coastal setting. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage to the paper, and the frame shows minimal surface wear, maintaining its bright metallic finish. The brushwork exhibits a confident handling of the watercolor medium, particularly in the wet-on-wet technique used for the hazy sky and the more detailed, dry-brush strokes on the boat and foreground wood.
