ATTR. SIMON DE VLIEGER SEASCAPE. Perhaps 17th c. or perhaps 18th c. Unsigned. Oil on wooden panel. Comes from the Butler family, Youngstown, Ohio (of the Butler Institute of American Art).

DeVlieger was known for seascapes characterized by sky and sea effects-- this painting has that and also shows a man in a small masted boat upon rough waves. Pencil inscription on the verso reads "Collection of F.N. Smith, Esq, Wingfield Park, Derbyshire." Size: 10 1/16" h., 11 5/8" w., framed 18" h., 19" w.
