Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait
 

We are looking for works by:

Artist:
Tudgay, John (or John L.) & Tudgay, L. (British, active 1850-1879) - Oilpaintings on canvas
Place:
Lived and worked in London, Great Britain.
Motifs:
Ship Portraits of British and International Sailing Vessels
Prices:
Works starting at BP 2,000 or Euro 3.000 or US$ 3,500. 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).
Notes:
The two Tudgays are most likely relatives of Frederik Tudgay. They used a very similar style, while some paintings are signed with both initials and therefore done in co-operation, most of the paintings that survived the course of time were done by John alone. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists".
