Couple pieces of art I picked up over this past weekend. The first is "Warspite and Warrior" Battle of Jutland, May 31, 1916 and signed J. Fleck. 14 1/2" x 21". It has a big scratch on it but the price was right. Also has a label on the back from the Parker Gallery in London.
The original was done by W.L. Wyllie and depicts the battleship 'Warspite', in action at the Battle of Jutland, at about 18.25 on 31 May 1916. She is under fire from five German battleships while the badly damaged armoured cruiser 'Warrior', on the right, tries to withdraw to the westward.Read more at HMS 'Warrior' and 'Warspite' at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916, about 18.25 - National Maritime Museum
The original etching...
Next is this smaller 6" x 9" impasto oil on wood of Multnomah Falls on the Columbia river in Oregon. Appears to be pretty old judging by the craquelure on it. It is signed either E. Poole or F. Poole. It's hard to tell because of the serifs in the letter. I imagine this was done by an amateur artist on their visit to the falls sometime back in the late teens or early 1920's maybe. At least that's how my mind pictures it. Anyway, here it is...
