Two masted sailing ship
Two masted sailing ship
£75
This naïve study of a sailing ship is reminiscent of the ship portraits popular in the early 19th century. While ship portraits in oils and watercolour would typically have been made for ship owners and captains, this more modest paper cut-out may have been made by or for an ordinary crew member.
