Antique Ship Painting

The Pengarian (?) by R. W. Taylor 1914

46 x 30.5 cm painting on canvas

58 x 43 cm frame

Another cute antique ship… I love how there is a boat of sailors going to shore! (I could totally see an old fashioned octopus in this, but am holding off in case someone wants it as is) Perfect to start a nautical themed gallery wall, you can mix and match this piece with other nautical paintings, prints, or framed textured fabrics.

I collected this piece from its second owner in Toronto. It had been imported years ago from Scotland. It was in very dirty condition, so I gave it a gentle clean to lift off the yellowing varnish, and am happy with the brighter sky and sails. It had previously been repaired from a puncture which has been neatly fixed. Further cleaning / restoration could be done by a specialist. The frame is very sturdy.
