Vintage Oil Painting On Wood Panel

Unsigned French Maritime Scene — Oil on Wood Panel, Early 20th Century

This finely detailed maritime painting depicts a tall ship navigating choppy waters toward a quaint European port. The late-day sky glows with warm pink and grey tones, casting a soft light over the lighthouse, clustered houses, and smoking chimneys along the quay. The waves in the foreground, alive with motion, contrast beautifully with the stillness of the village beyond.

Executed in oil on wood panel, the piece is housed in its original deep-toned wooden frame with a gilt inner border, adding to its antique charm. While the painting is unsigned, the reverse bears a red-ink maker’s stamp partially reading “…ER Fils, Paris”, suggesting a French origin and a connection to a Parisian art supplier active in the early 20th century.

Rich in atmosphere and craftsmanship, this work is ideal for collectors of nautical art, lovers of French coastal scenes, or anyone seeking an elegant vintage focal point.
