An original studio ceramic wall piece by California ceramic artist Raul Coronel. It has been confirmed by an associate of Raul's to be a one off piece, and not listed in Coronel's original catalogue. It depicts a man and woman on a small boat, with 2 birds flying overhead. The piece and frame are in vintage condition. There are some watermarks on the linen upon which the ceramic pieces are mounted. There is one small piece - on the far left of the mast - missing. We have shown it alongside the matching piece on the other side for reference. There are a couple pieces that are loose and pull away at the edges as shown, but are still affixed to the linen. The frame shows wear and looks to have been hand made. The signature plate is missing. We have shown a photo of the glue residue where it would have been affixed. Zoom in on photos for condition detail.

Approx. overall framed dimensions: 30-1/2" W x 24-1/4" H
