Boat in Harbor

Small abstract and vibrant painting of a docked ship. Oil on panel. Signed.

With a few brisk strokes of the brush, Herder shapes this harbor scene with blue and gray tones. Added ochre for layering and depth.

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage wooden/silver frame. Both painting and frame show some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to their charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.

Size: 35 x 21 cm (with frame)
