Antique 1905 Mediterranean Maritime Oil Painting Boats Fort Landscape Signed

Description

This is an antique 1905 Mediterranean maritime coastal oil painting on canvas.
It is signed in the bottom left corner Frank GEE 1905.
The overall frame measures 18 3/4 inches high x 27 3/4 inches wide (47.6 cm x 70.5 cm). The painting measures 15 inches high x 24 inches wide (38 cm x 61 cm).
At the center of the painting there is a fishing or shipping boat with men wearing turbans. Though I’m not exactly sure where it takes place, this can give you a clue. There are numerous other boats in the ocean. There is a tower, possibly houses and a fort in the background.
The painting is crackled all over. It has a large tear in the upper left section which I believe was touched up, a small one to the right of that and another one just below the fort at the base of the hill. There are two small indentations along the top edge. The rest of it appears to be in good condition.
The frame is mostly lemon gold gilt. However, it looks like it had decorative composition going around the outer edge and someone took that off and painted it gold instead. Perhaps much of the composition was chipping off at the time.
The entire piece weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. (2 kg).
