A very imposing painting with bright colors, with a dramatic sky and sea. The vessel is raked back as she's pulling to the top of a swell,while various vessels are pictured throughout.
Some highly regarded marine artists have spent time working at sea, and while many mariners practiced some artistic discipline, very few ever made the transition from amateur to a full career of a professional artist. Captain C.K. Miller is a shining exception, alongside the ranks of William Coulter and Charles Robert Patterson. The Scottish-born artist took to the sea at 15 on the Steamship CORREO, and took to sketching scenes from his voyages.
Framed in beautiful mahogany and gilt.
