We are delighted to offer this atmospheric watercolour by the artist John MacWhirter, who has signed the painting in the lower right- hand corner ‘Mac W’, which is how he characteristically signed his work. This is a tranquil almost poetic spring landscape, of considerable charm. Painted in Scotland with a grove of slender birch trees against a mountainous landscape. In the foreground stands a ewe and two lambs, nearby a woman is about to cross a wooden bridge. |

The fully rigged clipper ship is depicted with all sails set upon her four masts as she is illuminated by the soft light of early evening sunset as she makes her way to port thorough a fair breeze at the end of an Australian run, she flies the red ensign of the British Merchant navy and seagulls trail in her wake. At that time Palgrave was the largest ship in the world. |
