Fishing Village Harbor Scene Print (Printer's Proof)

This item is a printer's proof of a maritime art print, depicting a fishing village harbor scene. The artwork features a muted color palette, primarily grays, blues, greens, and browns, suggesting an overcast or foggy day. On the left, a weathered wooden building with a chimney stands beside a wet dock or street, reflecting the muted light. Several figures are visible on the dock, one prominently in the foreground walking away from the building. To the right, a large fishing boat, possibly a trawler, with nets and rigging, is moored alongside the dock. A smaller rowboat or dinghy is tethered next to the larger vessel in the murky water. The background is indistinct, conveying atmospheric perspective typical of a misty harbor. Notably, the print displays visible CMYK color bars at the top edge of the paper, along with registration marks, confirming its identity as a printer's proof. These indicators are crucial manufacturing details that distinguish it from a final production print. The signature 'HARRIGAN' is clearly visible in the lower right corner of the artwork, indicating the artist. The overall condition appears good, with some curling of the paper edges, likely from handling or storage. The edges also show small pinholes or marks that might be from being tacked up during the proofing process. The paper itself seems to be a good quality, heavy stock. The technique of the original artwork appears to be watercolor or gouache, characterized by its soft edges and translucent quality, effectively capturing the atmospheric conditions.
