Marine Painting

Marine engraving, 18th-19th century: Brigantine and felucca. Superb antique engraving depicting a brigantine chasing a felucca against a Mediterranean backdrop. This is a genuine intaglio engraving, carefully hand-colored. Period watercolor. The fine hatching, the visible plate, and the transparency of the colors confirm the authenticity of the technique. The old inscription, spelled "Prest à l’aborder" (Ready to board), enhances the historical charm of the piece. Good condition, paper slightly patinated, antique frame.
