Attributed to Richard Henry Nibbs, British 1816-1893- Shipping scenes at sunset; oils on canvas, each bears old inscription 'R. Nibbs' on the upper horizontal stretcher bars, one bears inscription 'R. Nibbs' on old backing paper, each 20.5 x 40.4 cm, a pair, (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Despite producing works on a variety of themes throughout his career, Nibbs was best-known as a marine artist. His maritime paintings generally capture the extreme mutability and volatility of the sea, depicting boats on calm, flat waters as often as on stormy seas. The present pair evoke a powerful sense of calm, with their small scale minimising the drama of the seas, and the romantic skies implying the coming of evening. 品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
