Castaways in a storm Painting

In this painting, Christiaan Sijtsma presents a maritime scene. At the center is a group of sailors depicted who have just lost their ship. The way the waves are painted makes it clear that there is an immense moving body of water to which the sailors are at the mercy of. The menacing-looking sky adds to this ambiance. The thing that stands most out is the small size Sijtsma chose for this marine painting: only 9,5 x 13 (x 0,6) cm. Since paintings of this subject are usually much larger, this small size actually makes it intriguing to look at. There is certain mystery to it. Executed in oil paint on ‘Lionboard Oil Tempered’ (commonly known as Masonite), I finished this work with two coats of gloss varnish. Please note that the frame seen in the image is not included; it was added digitally for the presentation. If you were to purchase this painting, I would highly recommend framing it in a similar-sized black frame, as it really brings the painting to life. The work is signed on the back of the hardboard. The work will be carefully packed with acid-free paper, poly wrap, bubble wrap, polystyrene and corner protectors for added protection. The wrapped work will be placed in a cardboard box.
