Description:
This delicate watercolour by J.F. Wright, dated 1913, captures the timeless charm of nautical life. The composition conveys a sense of quiet dignity, with the red-sailed boat taking centre stage against a calm expanse of water. The reflective quality of the sea and the careful attention to detail in the rigging and sails demonstrate the artist’s ability to convey atmosphere and movement with restraint. A fine decorative piece with historic appeal, suitable for collectors of early 20th-century marine art and lovers of nautical heritage.
