Outstanding 1928 impressionist oil on canvas of a Chinese Junk off the coast of Hong Kong by listed British artist Thomas G. Purvis (1861-1933). Self-taught, Purvis was a ship captain who became a full-time marine painter around the turn of the century. Well-known as a ship portrait artist, Purvis eventually moved to the far east and China where he returned to working as a captain on steam ships while continuing to paint. He remained there until his death in China in 1933.This oil on canvas, typical of Purvis\'s paintings of Chinese ships done during his later career in China, is signed lower left and dated 1921. It measures 9\" x 14\" (painting size) and is in good condition with yellowing of the varnish. Framed as shown.Please see my other sales for more fine paintings and prints.
