ERIC TUFNELL (BRITISH, 1888-1979) - ALL SIGNED IN ORIGINAL HAND

I have over a hundred original watercolours by Commander Eric Tufnell RN: most of these are available only as originals, some as reproductions, the original having already sold (see www.maritimeprints.com). Just a few examples are illustrated below but Tuffy's skills are already well known in nautical circles. Unless stated (with first commissioning date in brackets), the paintings are of ships bearing that name in WW2 times. They are listed alphabetically, are all signed by Tufnell & many are also inscribed by him. Most measure 11 x 8 ins (28 x 20 cms) approx. These originals - which are with very few exceptions in excellent condition & clean, unspotted & bright - are on artist's board & are unframed or mounted: they are £250 - £500 (including VAT) depending on the particular ship concerned. All prices above exclude p&p (typically around £7 for UK Mainland addresses; but because they are not large they are very mailable all over the world).
