Dramatic Seascape with Breaking Waves is an oil painting from the 1980s by Schubert (XX), hand signed in the lower right, in landscape format, 50 × 45 cm including its period-style blue‑grey moulded frame, and sold with frame in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
Expressive 20th-century marine painting, signed Schubert in the lower right, depicting a powerful coastal scene with rolling turquoise-blue waves, white sea foam, rocky outcrops and seabirds beneath a luminous sky.
The composition is particularly attractive for its sense of movement. The breaking waves dominate the scene, with energetic highlights and layered blue-green tones creating depth and atmosphere. The painting has a decorative, traditional character and presents very well in its substantial period-style frame.
The work is offered complete with its frame, which combines distressed blue-grey moulding, cream-toned inner sections and gilt decorative details. The frame complements the maritime palette especially well and gives the painting a strong presence when displayed.
