    Coastal Nocturne With Pier

    This mid-19th-century British oil painting depicts a moonlit coastal view with turbulent sea, pier, sailboats and overcast sky.

    Irrepressible waves batter the coastline as a stricken vessel struggles amid the elements. It’s a dramatic scene under a menacing sky. Lamplight from a source on the pier provides guidance for approaching crew, while the partially-covered moon emits an atmospheric glow.

    The work has previously been attributed to George Stone (1832-1897) but, following an extensive search of the archives, very little information is available on this artist. In 1832, a painter by this name exhibited a work titled ‘Moonlight’ at the British Institution, so it’s possibly by the same hand.

    Signed ‘G Stone’ in the lower left and held within a later gilt frame.
