    oleograph, possibly.

    Contemporary painters of sailing ship scenes, including battles, were far more realistic in the depictions. They were realists, even Turner painted real ships under his impressionistic effects. You only need to look at a few 18th C seascapes to see what I mean.
    The rigging of the principal ship looks more like a washing line in a gale than serious sails.

    It took until painting and drawing became a luxury rather than the sole mode of illustration before the painters really cut loose with non pictorial pictures
    which is why I think this is 20th C.

    Looks like a painting to me … albeit a decorative one. European based on the brown canvas and mid-placed stretcher bar. Also don't think terribly old. Post WWII.
