Acrylic and oil pastel on heavyweight, unstretched canvas.

Signature / Authentication
Unsigned (typical for Sarkin's large-scale works). Estate-verified; Certificate of Authenticity included.

Provenance
Acquired directly from the estate in 2024 by a lifelong Gloucester fisherman; now consigned back to the Estate for sale.

Ships rolled (unstretched) or available for local pickup in Gloucester, MA. We’re happy to advise on stretching/framing to museum standards.

"What I do know is that once I start looking at Sarkin’s work, I can’t stop; it’s a bottomless pit of fascination, a creative intellect powered by humor, joy, and love" - Murray Whyte, The Boston Globe
