A coastal seascape oil on canvas by Scottish painter John Milne Donald (1819–1866), depicting waves breaking against a rocky shoreline beneath a softly illuminated evening sky with a small boat barely visible in the distance. Painted in 1856, the composition displays Donald’s characteristic atmospheric handling of light and naturalistic treatment of the landscape, with confident brushwork capturing the movement of the sea and surf. Signed lower left and presented in its period gilt composition frame. A well-executed example of mid-19th century Scottish landscape painting by a listed artist whose works have appeared at major international auction houses and public collections.
