|
Notes:
|
Although quite a few paintings by this artist appear on the art market there is hardly any information on the artist himself available.As he exclusively portrayed English sailing vessels, usually under full sail in one or two positions off the Dover coastline, it can be assumed that he worked in the Dover area. Both the depiction of the ship´s technical details and the handling of the water are of a fine quality. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists". |
