A character-rich oil on canvas depicting a steam-powered warship cutting through rough waves beneath a soft, clouded sky. Rendered with textured brushwork and tonal variation, the vessel exhales dark plumes of smoke into the pastel atmosphere, evoking both motion and industrial might. The work is framed in a unique rope border — a nod to its maritime subject, likely dating to the early 20th century. Though unsigned, the painting carries the charm and visual immediacy of folk naval portraiture from the period.
