Notes:
|
Spencer produced a considerable number of ship portraits, mostly depicting British vessels, often with the white cliffs of Dover in the distance. As the quality of execution varies from very good to average we are faced with the problem of wrongly attributed paintings or even faked signatures. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists". |
