Atmospheric Antique Oil on Canvas Seascape with Gulls teddy bear Executed in low relief

Executed in low relief

in this 1/6th plate daguerreotype case

who I believe purchased them some years ago from a notable Pennsylvania collection of naive drawings

together they add up to provoke romantic visions of living on a houseboat

I'd guess this piece is quite old

Atmospheric Antique Oil on Canvas Seascape with Gulls teddy bear Executed in low reliefI found this one the coast of New Hampshire just yesterday, and would guess it has not very travelled far probably painted somewhere between there and Maine in the late 19th century. It's about as atmospheric as it gets a vertical slice of rough sea and cloud covered sky, with the blocked sun illuminating pastel shades from lavender to pale blue to greenish gold, and with the trail of fluttering seagulls seeming very an extension of the sea itself.
