Mid-Century Maritime Painting of Ships in Storm, Signed

Dramatic mid-20th-century maritime painting showing two vessels battling heavy seas under a dark, turbulent sky.The artist uses thick, energetic brushwork and layered paint to describe churning waves in blue, green, gray, and white, creating strong movement across the surface. One smaller working vessel is shown in the foreground on a diagonal, while a larger passenger or cargo ship appears in the midground, giving the scene depth and a sense of scale.
The painting is signed at lower right (signature not fully legible).It is presented in a vintage gilt frame that complements the period of the work; the frame shows age-appropriate wear, craquelure, and edge losses consistent with age and use.
This is a classic example of mid-century marine subject matter-ideal for nautical, coastal, or maritime collections, or for anyone looking for a dynamic seascape with strong texture and movement.
