This is an original oil painting on canvas by the artist A. De Deken, titled "Vissersboten in haven Oostende". The work, dated 1980, shows a lively and expressive depiction of two moored fishing boats, characterized by a bold, impasto technique. The painting is executed with thickly applied paint, creating a rich texture and depth. The artist used a palette of bright blue and green for the boats, contrasted with the swirling white and gray tones of the sky and water. The work is framed in a classic, gold-colored wooden frame, made by the Brussels framer Van Thienen, as indicated by a label on the back. A handwritten note confirms the title, year, and artist. The artwork is in very good condition, retaining its original, vibrant colors and intact paint structure. The condition is consistent with its age and testifies to careful preservation over the years. The frame is also well-preserved and complements the painting. With its maritime theme and powerful brushstrokes, this painting is a characterful piece that fits various interior styles, from classic to modern. It forms an atmospheric accent in a living room, study, or hallway.
