Antique Expressionist Moonlit Nocturne Seascape with Trees (Oil on Cardboard)
Antique Moonlit Nocturne Seascape with Trees
Oil on Cardboard, Framed
Dimensions: 19.5 x 11.5 in. (framed)
Medium: Oil on cardboard
Date: Early 20th century (estimated)
This atmospheric nocturne presents a moonlit seascape rendered in deep, expressive tones, likely dating to the early 20th century. Executed in oil on cardboard, the composition features a luminous full moon casting reflections across dark, still waters, flanked by silhouetted arboreal forms.
The overall treatment bears aesthetic affinities with Northern European Symbolism and early Expressionism, particularly echoing the emotional intensity and psychological depth found in the work of Edvard Munch. The surface exhibits a network of fine craquelure, particularly pronounced along the lower edges—consistent with the age and material substrate of the piece.
Condition: Structurally stable, with wear and surface craquelure commensurate with age.
Frame: Presented in a more recent, non-period frame, which complements the work without attempting historical replication. We reinforced the piece with archival tape en verso.
