The Life Car Rescue of Crew of a Ship in Distress. Unsigned. Oil on canvas, 20 x 27 1/4 in., in a period molded wood frame. Condition: Craquelure with associated scattered retouch.

Lossing and William Barritt that appeared in Harpers New Monthly Magazine (date unknown) in an article titled "Some Account of Francis's Life-boats and Life Cars." A life car is a small boat-like vehicle holding four or five people used to convey people ashore in a rescue situation. The article and an account of a 1984 restoration of the painting accompany the painting.
