19th Century F.A.W. Gould Maritime Oil on Canvas

£400.00
A 19th-century maritime landscape executed in oils on a stretched canvas support. 102cm wide * 77cm tall The composition depicts a coastal harbor scene featuring traditional red-roofed buildings on a wharf to the left. Figures including a woman and young child stand at the water's edge near a man in a small rowing boat, while several brown-sailed barges are moored at the quay or seen sailing across the calm water toward a distant church tower. The work is rendered in a restrained palette of earth tones, greys, and ochres with soft, atmospheric brushwork. The lower right corner bears a painted signature reading F. A. W. GOULD. The canvas is housed in a substantial period-style gilt wood and composition frame decorated with a deep cove profile and an outer egg-and-dart molding. No further inscriptions or labels are visible on the front of the work.
