Ambrose original, repro or factory art

I picked this up last week. There are a few very similar items flying about described as Ambrose originals. I think maybe it is a repro though or a cheeky factory piece. Mainly because of the swirly style and commercial frame. It looks like oil on board with an art shop frame. Painting without frame is 40cm x 50cm.

 

factory. signature looks like Ann Brose. painter knew nothing about sails, the wind and the effect on the boat.

 

Ditto.

That boat has hit a sandbank, it is too high in the water.

 

Is the third vertical line in the signature dotted, which would make it an 'I'? Not that I suppose it matters if it is a fictitious signature.

 

Unfortunately, they have no info:

And they think his first name is John:

Mmmm. Another slant on the sig. Thanks

 

Pure decorator piece - agreed. This was purchased in a furniture store when someone bought rec room or living room furniture and needed something to put on a wall.

 

well the hanging hardware and stapled corners say there's not a lot of age here....
& Larson juhl...was well known to me in the 1990's..

 

Thanks dudes.

 

Larson Juhl was founded in the late 1800s but are one of the big names in frames today. Definitely a newer piece.

 

I was doing the bulk of my framing in the 90's..
