Signed Valota, this mid-20th century coastal painting captures the timeless rhythm of life along the Italian Riviera. Two working fishing boats rest in the shallows, their red hulls and draped nets a nod to their daily purpose, while seabirds circle overhead and distant sails scatter across a turquoise horizon. The artist’s bold palette and textured brushwork bring atmosphere and vitality to the scene. Housed in its original giltwood frame as found.
