Wonderful signed painting in original Art Deco carved wood frame by listed San Antonio, Texas artist/illustrator Gerald G. Estill, c. 1930. Dynamic composition of men at work on a small sailboat with big billowing orange sails amidst a backdrop of a picturesque sun-dappled seaside village. Cool blues and greens of the water & shadowy building facades contrast beautifully with the warmth of the sails, the reflected light on the roofs and the men's torsos. The boat appears to be in motion, pulled by the breeze & the efforts of the three men. The painting is on artists board & fits inside a chiseled frame. The frame has bracketed corner carvings & is rustic in style, with a weathered bronze patina. There are some visible scratches to the frame both on the face & on the sides, seen in photos. You can easily hang & enjoy the piece as-is, make some frame touch-ups yourself or take it to a professional frame restorer.

Condition Notes: The frame has some finish scratches which could be touched up professionally or from frame supplies at a craft store.

There is a small nick to the paint finish at middle lower interior edge, where there is a small scratch to the frame. The painting would benefit from a light cleaning--it appears to be in original condition.
