Black Sea Bay, 1891, Ivan Aivazovsky — Art Postcard

Signed and dated in the corner — Aivazovsky at seventy-four, painting a bay he knew by heart. A stone lighthouse tower stands on the breakwater at centre, a fortified building rises behind it, and in the foreground two fishermen work a boat while a felucca carries its crew past on a rose-and-blue evening.

The signature is part of the image, which gives the card a documentary weight beyond an ordinary postcard — worth keeping for a marine or Aivazovsky-specific collection.
