About the piece
Created around 1890 by O. Brieu, this watercolor on paper captures the structural elegance and intricate rigging of a three-masted sailing ship. The artist expertly balances the dynamic movement of the ocean waves with the steady, imposing presence of the vessel, which bears the name 'D. Pedro II' on its pennant, signifying its Brazilian heritage.
