An antique oil on board painting depicting sailboats on the ocean is offered for sale. This painting is mounted on a vintage frame, which dates from the 1950s. The right bottom corner and the right side of the frame have some damage. The painting however is in excellent condition considering it's 100 plus years old. It displays craquelure, a clear sign of aging. Although we do not know the date when the painting was made, we can assume it was created sometime in the 1910s. Alfred Martens was a well-known Dutch painter who was born in 1888 and died in 1936.

The easel used for photography is not included.
