Lot 1000: Two Framed Maritime Oil Paintings Including a Moonlight Seascape by Brian D Horswell
Two framed maritime oil paintings of contrasting coastal subjects. The first work is an oil on board depicting a large two-masted sailing vessel aground at low tide on a beach, with figures attending to the hull and a small fire burning on the shore. In the background, the distinctive silhouette of St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall, is visible under a bright, overcast sky. The painting is housed in a broad dark wood frame with a patterned gilt-effect inner slip. The second work is a vintage oil painting on board by Brian D Horswell, depicting a dramatic moonlit seascape with large white-crested waves crashing against a rocky headland. This work features textured impasto brushwork to the foam of the waves. It is signed Brian D Horswell in the lower left corner and set in a traditional gilt-finished wooden frame with a beaded inner border.
