About the Item

This antique oil on canvas depicts a dramatic maritime scene with a tall sailing ship navigating rolling open seas beneath a luminous, cloud-filled sky. The composition emphasizes the power and movement of the water, with layered waves rendered in deep green and blue tones, contrasted by the bright sails and soft atmospheric light. The horizon is set low, allowing the sky and sea to dominate the scene, a hallmark of serious maritime painting rather than decorative marine art. The work is signed in the lower area “P. Dunbar”, a name used by the artist during his early career. The painting is presented in an impressive, richly carved gilt wood frame that complements the scale and strength of the composition. The overall impression is that of a confident, professional maritime painter with first-hand understanding of the sea. 📏 Measurements: Painting 40" x 28" Framed 45.5" x 33.5" 🎨 Medium: Oil on canvas 🖋️ Signature: Signed “P. Dunbar” (early period signature) 🖼️ Frame: Ornate gilt wood frame with classical scrolling and floral decoration ✔️ Condition: Antique condition. Stable age-related craquelure visible throughout, consistent with age. Overall well-preserved, structurally sound, and visually strong. Supporting Attribution Note The painting is signed “P. Dunbar,” which corresponds to the early professional name used by Patrick von Kalckreuth (1892–1970) prior to 1931. Born Patrick Dunbar, he later adopted the surname von Kalckreuth after being adopted by Richard von Kalckreuth. According to documented biographical sources, works created before this name change were signed Dunbar, while later works bear the Kalkreuth name. Patrick von Kalckreuth is recognized as a leading German maritime painter, known for his North Sea seascapes, ships at sea, and powerful wave studies. His early works, including ship-centered compositions such as this example, show strong influence from his academic training and from established German maritime painters. His works are held in museums and collections throughout northern Germany, including Bremerhaven. The subject matter, technique, palette, and signature placement are all consistent with Kalckreuth’s documented early period maritime paintings. Please note: Physical colors may vary slightly from photographs due to lighting conditions, camera settings, and screen displays. We sell antique and vintage artworks that naturally show signs of age such as patina, craquelure, minor surface wear, or historical restoration. These characteristics are considered part of the artwork’s authenticity and charm. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the item description.
