A fine quality 19th-century oil painting on board of the River Thames under a moonlit sky by listed British / Danish artist, Alfred Serenius Jensen ( 1859 - 1935). In this atmospheric nautical picture, Jensen has skillfully harnessed the light of the full moon in the clouds, sails and the water's reflection. A foggy mist hugs the distant shore masking the London shoreline and a tugboat steams off on the left. The lights on the tug, ship and channel marker draw in the eye of the viewer. Displayed in the original giltwood swept frame. Painting is: 31"L x 21"H. Auction records for Alfred Jensen exceed $8,500. Art has long been regarded as a strong and safe investment. Ellen Kelleher, a personal finance reporter for The Financial Times wrote an article recommending art particularly in the $500 - $50,000 range as a sound long term investment with an impressive current average annual yield of 9.7%.
