About the piece

Created in 1810 by the renowned marine artist Robert Salmon, this oil-on-canvas work meticulously depicts the ship 'Ann' off the coast of Birkenhead. The painting is a masterclass in nautical detail, from the precise rendering of the rigging to the atmospheric treatment of the cloudy sky and the choppy, translucent waves of the Mersey.
