About the piece

Created in 1819 by Thomas Binks, this impressive oil painting depicts the East Indiaman 'East Indian' in full sail. The work masterfully balances the intricate detail of the ship's rigging with the dynamic, atmospheric treatment of the rolling sea and luminous, cloud-filled sky, characteristic of maritime art from the Golden Age of Sail.
