Charming Vintage Seaside Oil Painting of Children Playing — Signed SB, Framed








$500.00
Or Best OfferUp for sale is this delightful vintage original oil painting on canvas, capturing an idyllic moment of childhood play by the seaside. Two young children—a boy and a girl—are shown enjoying the shallow surf, with the boy holding a red-and-white beach ball and the girl wading energetically toward him. A distant sailboat floats on the soft horizon, adding depth and serenity to the composition.
The work is monogrammed SB in the lower left corner. Though the full name of the artist remains unknown, the painting exhibits a confident hand, vibrant brushwork, and a strong sense of movement—qualities that suggest a skilled mid-20th-century painter, possibly from North America or Europe.
The color palette is soft yet vivid, with calming blues and warm skin tones that evoke the warmth and freedom of summer. The reflections and light play on the water are particularly charming.
Housed in a bold, mid-century modern style wooden frame with gold and black accents, the frame itself is notable—featuring organic carved patterns that complement the rhythmic motion of the sea.
