A pair of contemporary nautical prints after the artist Michael O’Toole, depicting racing yachts in dynamic maritime scenes. The compositions replicate a gestural impressionist style with visible palette knife work and heavy impasto textures from the original artworks. One print features two yachts bearing the sail numbers 7191 and 5175, while the other shows a yacht with the sail number 5131. Both works are signed vertically M O’TOOLE in the lower right corner of the image. The reverse of one backing board is inscribed with the title RACING THE WIND in black ink. The pair is presented in substantial matching composite frames with broad gilt-finished outer edges and silver-tone inner liners.
Condition report:
The prints appear to be in excellent condition with no visible fading, foxing, or staining. The frames are well-preserved with only minor surface marks consistent with light handling.
