A Royal Naval Brigantine, with square sails set and commission pennant at the masthead, ply’s its course through choppy seas off 'the Needles', Isle of Wight, England. The light house and chalk stacks may be seen in the background, along with the Totland coast and other shipping in Alum and Scratchel's Bays. This is a late example from the hand of the mature artist dated [19] 21 and reflects his mastery of the intimate details of ship's rigging and the subtleties of capturing the sea. |
