Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Heard, Joseph (British, 1799-1859) - Oilpaintings on canvas
Place:	Lived and worked in Whitehaven and from 1832 in Liverpool, Great Britain.
Motifs:	Ship Portraits, mainly of Sailing Vessels and occasionally also of Steamers
Prices:	Offers are starting at BP 2,000 (in Great Britain) or $ 3,000 (in the USA) or Euro 3.000 (Continental Europe). Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. 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:	One of the leading artists of the Liverpool School. He used a well balanced composition, depicting the vessel in one or two positions off Gibraltar, Capetown or other foreign locations. His fluid handling of the sea and his palette of bright colors add to the appeal. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists". Another Liverpool ship portrait artist, who produced high quality works was Isaac Heard (1804-1869).
