Contact SellerStudio RT Ltd ▼

We are delighted to offer another oil on canvas by the accomplished and highly collectable artist MAX SINCLAIR, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner. The painting is a marine scene, with a sailing vessel heeling over, bow deep in a wave in a quite rough sea. There is another ship on the horizon. Typical of the artist's marine scenes, the details of the ship are executed in fine detail.

As MAX SINCLAIR did not appear to exhibit his work, although a quite prolific artist, little is known about his life. The only biographical information we could find about him is listed in Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents', as follows-

'Painter of landscapes and marines in oil and watercolour. This prolific artist does not appear to have exhibited, although much of the work was inscribed and dated giving some indication of the period of his work and the location of the subjects. Most of the landscapes are views in Wales and Scotland and the majority date from the early 1880s. The marine subjects include views of the London and Liverpool docks. Many of his paintings were signed with a monogram (see index).'

Regarding the above, both of the paintings that we have offered for sale have been views of the Lake District.

Auction results for this artist are available on artprice.com (62 listings), artnet.com (49), findartinfo.com (24), arcadja.com (17) and Hislop's Guide to the UK Art Market. The record price for one of his paintings at auction in recent years has been £2,800.

The painting is framed in a nice 2 1/4" gilt frame which suits it very well. It is ready to hang.
