Unfortunately there is no price range available as there were only very few paintings by this artist offered on the art market in recent years.

Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your work by this artist (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting). |
|
Notes:
|
Harris was a seafarer from 1828-35 and therefore knew the ships and their construction by heart. As a marine artist he was trained by George Chambers and created several fine seascapes and maritime genre scenes. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists". |
