A Pair of Signed Watercolours of Sailing Boats
This lot comprises a pair of watercolour paintings, each depicting sailing boats in dock and each signed TM. The first picture shows a single sailing vessel with two tall masts resting on the shore, with a small figure at the water’s edge handling a line. The second shows a group of moored boats reflected on still water beneath a soft, pale sky. Both works are painted in a loose, atmospheric watercolour style, with washes of blue, lilac and warm ochre. Each is set within a double cream mount and housed in a light wood-effect frame, so the two pictures can be displayed together as a matched set.
Condition and Collector Interest
Both pictures are presented in matching light wood-effect frames with cream mounts and inner gold-toned slips. Small specks are visible on the mount of the first picture, and the works should be viewed in person to assess their overall condition. As a pair with a shared maritime theme, these watercolours offer appeal to collectors of marine art and to buyers seeking coastal or nautical decor for a home, office or holiday property. The TM signature gives each work a point of reference for enquiry, and the coordinated framing makes the pair an easy choice for display.
