About the piece
Dating to 1850, this elegant maritime painting from the Royal Museums Greenwich collection illustrates the sailing vessels Streatham and Red Rover. The work beautifully balances the technical detail of the rigging with an atmospheric, soft-hued sky and active shoreline, capturing the peak of the clipper ship era.
