Nautical Fishing Trawler Net Sport Painting Vtg signed 13" Bielefeldt nocturnal

up for consideration is wonderful nocturnal painting of a working Trawler in action on the Ocean. The painting measures about 11 by 13.5 and has a great look. It appears to be signed "C. Bielefeldt" for Curtis Bilelefeldt. It really has a look. Please see photos as part of the description. If you have any questions or something to share please message me buyer pays shipping. Curtis was an artist from Germany who migrated to Detroit. He was an artist as well as an educator...Judging by this work he really had something to contribute...

Best Regards,

Johnny
