Lot 808
A 19th Century oil on canvas marine study "Clipper with Boats in Distance", indistinctly signed and dated 1856, some paint loss 11" x 17" £100-150

This lot is in quite poor condition. The paint has dried out and cracked considerably and there are several places where is it flaking and there is a small plastic bag attached to the reverse of the painting which holds pieces of the paintwork. The canvas has not been relined and there are no holes or tears. We have been unable to identify the artist although the date is readable.
