Lot description
William McAlpine, British, 19th century- Boats in stormy water, off the coast; oil on canvas laid down on board, bears indistinct signature with a later indistinct signature on top (lower right), 41 x 69.5 cm. (VAT charged on the hammer price). Provenance: Anon. sale, Bonhams, London, 11 May 1999, lot 260. Note: It is typical of McAlpine's loosely-painted seascapes, executed with a thick impasto which recalls the approach of J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851), particularly in the inclusion of details such as one of the figures' red cap, and the barrel which floats to the left of the composition.
