Description: This stunning seascape, created around 1880, transports the viewer to a bustling seaport, likely located in Northern France or Normandy. It serves as a captivating depiction of the lively maritime atmosphere during that era, featuring a myriad of boats that animate the scene. In the foreground, a quay is accompanied by a steamship, while several sailing vessels and smaller boats with sailors complete the composition. The painting, executed in oil on canvas and signed in the lower right, is in very good condition, framed in gilt wood. John Darcy Morell was a British painter and journalist. He was born on 23 December 1854 in Hampstead, London.
