Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Alfred, W. L. or W. S. (British/French, active 1879-90) - Mainly Oilpaintings, some Watercolors and Gouaches
Place:	Worked first in Sunderland (GB), but moved then to Dunkirk (France).
Motifs:	Ship Portraits, by sailing vessels and steamers
Prices:	Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your work by this artist (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting). We never noticed a work on the American market so far.
Notes:	His most productive time was in Dunkirk, where he lived in the 1880s. Some of his works tend to be a little naiv, on the other side his best works are of a quality like the works by Henry Loos or John Loos. His pictures appear occasionally on the art market and his ouevre was smaller than of the Loos brothers. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can be found also in our books "Ship Portrait Artists" and "World Register of Ship Portraits Edition 1999/2000" (coming in spring 1999).
Contact:	The FineArtEmporium might be interested in the direct purchase or brokerage of fine works by this artist. Please refer to our page "Contact" and send an e-mail to bais(at)gmx.de with the information requested there. You will receive an answer usually within 48-72 hours (up to a week in rare cases).
