Lot #87: Signed Maritime Watercolour of the American Barque "Georgette" (Framed)

Detailed maritime watercolour depicting the American barque Georgette under full sail in heavy seas. The artwork captures the dramatic movement of the vessel as it powers through rough ocean swells, with exceptional attention paid to the ship's rigging and sails. Signed "J. Klein" in the lower right corner and professionally matted and framed under glass. An inscription on the reverse identifies the subject: "The American Barque 'Georgette' loaded with crates of petroleum products, sailing on the Indian Ocean from New York to Australia in the 19th century – Running down her Easting." Very good overall condition. Artwork presents well with vibrant colour and no readily apparent damage visible through the glass. Frame shows light wear consistent with age and normal handling. Reverse inscription remains clear and legible. Sold as-is, where-is, with no guarantees regarding artist attribution, historical accuracy of the inscription, age, provenance, or authenticity. Buyers are encouraged to examine all photographs carefully and satisfy themselves as to condition prior to bidding.
