Seascape with Sailing Boat – Signed A. Potter

This tranquil coastal painting captures a single sailboat navigating gentle waves along a rugged shoreline. The artist, A. Potter, masterfully balances texture and light — the impasto rocks contrast with the smooth, shimmering sea, while the muted sky evokes the calm of a late afternoon by the coast.

Executed with confident, naturalistic brushwork, the composition reflects the Romantic fascination with solitude and nature’s quiet power. The lone figure aboard the small vessel adds a human touch to the vastness of the maritime scene, suggesting both serenity and introspection.

The work is beautifully complemented by its original gilded frame, richly ornamented and in excellent harmony with the subject’s golden and blue tones.

A refined and atmospheric seascape — ideal for collectors of 19th- and early-20th-century marine art.
