Lot 1000: Tulis (20th Century), Coastal Harbour at Sunset, 1974
This oil on canvas painting is signed and dated by the artist Tulis in 1974. The work depicts a tranquil Mediterranean coastal harbour at sunset, likely representing the town of Rovinj. The composition features several small fishing vessels in the foreground with a hillside settlement dominated by a prominent church spire in the background. It is executed in a mid-20th-century modernist style, utilising a muted colour palette of ochre, grey, and cream tones. The forms are defined by dark, graphic outlines and textured brushwork. The painting is presented in a contemporary dark-stained wood frame with a gilded inner slip.
60.5 cm x 50.5 cm (framed).
Condition report:
The paint surface displays fine age-related craquelure, particularly within the sky, but otherwise appears stable with no obvious signs of loss or restoration. The contemporary frame shows minor surface scuffs.
