This is an excellent example of 19th
century maritime paintings, executed 1886 by the talented artist Jessie
Ball. Rich jewel like tones are used throughout the
painting, distinguishing Ball as a master of the maritime genre. His skill is exhibited most strikingly in his expert rendering of the water. The waves are painted in a manner that truly conveys their power, infusing them with vital energy. . This painting measures 19.5” x 26.5” in totality and is presented in an
exquisite, highly ornate, gold wood frame. In addition to being signed by the artist, this painting is also accompanied
by a CERTIFICATE of AUTHENTICITY and a notarized AFFIDAVIT of PROVENANCE.
