This detailed figurative trade-ship scene reveals musicians, travelers, sacred animals, ceremonial elements and symbolic cargo - expressing themes of religion and middle eastern culture.

This piece appears to reference the story of Noah Ark, with a central figure resembling Noach marked by a golden halo and surrounded by pairs of animals.
Its impressionist touches of atmosphere, combined with gothic storytelling and geometry of mid-century modern art, make it an incredibly versatile statement piece.

Originally acquired through a fine art gallery and found at a historic home estate sale.
