Not or illegibly signed - 2x Dutch School Zeeland Boards (XX) - Sold

Offered in this auction are two charming miniatures of maritime scenes, probably by the same artist, indicated with the monogram "DB". These works are typical of the Dutch School, with a characteristic attention to detail and a sense of movement that brings the rough sea to life.
The first painting shows a single-masted fishing ship bravely cutting through the waves, its sails billowing with the wind. The second work shows a two-masted ship on the high seas, with smaller vessels and a lighthouse in the background suggesting a safe harbour. Both scenes are bathed in a warm, golden light, suggesting late afternoon sun and the end of a long day on the water.
The paintings are housed in deeply detailed, dark wood frames that complement the rich tones of the maritime landscape and enhance the intimacy of the miniatures. The style of the works is reminiscent of that of the 17th century Dutch masters, although they are clearly a 20th century reinterpretation. This is reflected in the loose brushstrokes and the vibrant use of color, which leaves a dynamic yet harmonious impression.
These works offer a wonderful opportunity for collectors of maritime art and enthusiasts of the Dutch School. They make an attractive addition to any collection and promise to be a talking point for admirers of fine, detailed oil paintings. The pieces are offered together, providing a unique opportunity to acquire a pair of complementary works.
