Mid-19th-Century British School, Coastal Nocturne With Pier Denmark The first appears to listThis mid 19th century British oil painting depicts a moonlit coastal view with turbulent sea, pier, sailboats and overcast sky. Irrepressible waves batter the coastline as a stricken vessel struggles amid the elements. Its a dramatic scene under a menacing sky. Lamplight from a source on the pier provides guidance for approaching crew, while the partially covered moon emits an atmospheric glow. The work has previously been attributed to George Stone
