Signed Oil On Canvas – “Casting Off” By J.C. Gray SAI3968

A beautifully executed oil on canvas by accomplished British artist J.C. Gray, signed lower right and offered in excellent antique condition. This atmospheric coastal scene captures a small boat preparing to cast off from a rocky shore, with three figures aboard and a fourth gesturing from land. he sea is rendered with lively, textured brushwork that conveys movement and breeze, while distant sailboats and a clouded sky suggest the vastness and unpredictability of the maritime setting. The palette is soft and naturalistic, with gentle blues, greys, and ochres that heighten the mood and realism. Presented in an ornate gilded frame with intricate carvings, the piece exudes timeless elegance. The frame shows light age-related wear, consistent with its period, but remains a characterful and sympathetic complement. Full of charm and presence, it would make a striking addition to any interior.

J.C. Gray was a British painter active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his evocative depictions of rural and coastal life.
