$4,500
SHIPPING OFFERED
This is an important watercolour painted by one of Australia's most renowned marine artists. It is a Sydney harbourside steamer scene of the early 1900s.
The frame size is 77cm x 110cm & the exposed painting is 67cm x 100cm. It is a rare MAJOR WORK & in 25 years of collecting his paintings it is the finest & most significant that I have seen - & by a long shot.
The painting is original & is untouched with evidence of light water damage - probably from condensation. I am told that restoration is a simple & economic procedure. The brown paper seal is unbroken & it has not been removed from the frame. The frame has damage to the corners, as can be seen in the provided photographs. There is a framers label, as depicted in the provided photograph, which states it was manufactured by Geo. Styles 3 Rowe St. Sydney Phone B2628.
Frederick James Elliot was born in Dorset England in 1864, arrived in Brisbane as a child & became famous for painting shipping & waterside scenes of Sydney harbour. He died in Sydney in 1949. His paintings are well represented in Australian art galleries & are regularly offered in fine arts auction houses Australia wide.
A Fred Elliott painting of this size, or anywhere near it, is extremely rare. The application & detail is exceptional. It is one of a very few of his major works.
Personal delivery is available for areas Bathurst to Sydney. Courier delivery is available to all other areas Australia wide.
