R. Manson (19th-20th century) Low Tide – Ships in the Harbour,
1904 Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left.
Canvas size: 54 x 65 cm.
Framed in a champagne gold gilt frame (restorations, relining). This evocative harbour scene by R. Manson depicts a sailing ship anchored at the quay, gently listing in the shallow waters at low tide as a few sailors and deckhands work around the ship. Smaller boats surround the ship, adding to the dynamic composition. The muted grey tones and calm atmosphere capture the quiet activity of the port, while the figures at work provide a sense of life and purpose. The painting is signed and dated in the lower left corner, framed in a champagne gold gilt frame, with some restorations and relining.
