American oil on academy board painting of an unidentified fully rigged cargo ship at sea. Note the American flag flying at the stern. Signed, lower right, “Elma Bates”. This beautifully rendered work has a post impressionist sensibility of light and a clear knowledge of sailing ships and ship rigging. Little is know of this singular female painter, of a subject almost exclusively the provenance of men, with the exception of occasional paintings of hers, of similar quality and subject, that have appeared on the art market. All of her known works are dated from the early 20th century. Art work dimensions: 21 1/2” x 27 1/2” framed in a gold leafed Sully style molding.
