A traditional maritime study in oil on canvas by German artist RICHARD ERNST LORENZ-MELLENBACH (1878-1950). In this near-classical composition, four boats sail gently on the Baltic Sea, its calm surface shimmering in light from the setting sun, diffused through clouds. Teal bands of water echo the Kelly green hulls. New frame.

RICHARD ERNST LORENZ-MELLENBACH trained in Berlin and was active on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea.
