Clement Drew – Boston Harbor circa 1850
Oil on Panel
Size 9×11
This small marine painting by Clement Drew of Boston Harbor circa 1850 came to us in overall good condition. There did not seem to be any previous in-painting or other work done to it, although the panel was a little worn where it sat underneath the rabbet of the old frame.
However, the painting had close to two centuries of dirt and grime covering the surface which our restorer carefully removed, exposing the true brightness, soft colors, and subtle lighting for which the artist was well known.
