- Lot Description
Manner of the Liverpool School, 19th Century
Portrait of the Bark Bangalore. Unsigned. Oil on canvas, showing the three-masted vessel identified on a pennant and on the bow, flying the Union Jack, surrounded by vessels, 24 x 36 in., in a later frame. Condition: Fine stable craquelure, small repairs, minor retouch, minor losses.
Note: This painting represents an interesting mesh of styles with subject matter. In its handling of the water and the ship, it is reminiscent of the work of Samuel Walters, one of the best known Liverpool maritime artists, and one who was known to paint exotic port scenes. Additionally, the canvas is on a keyed Western-style stretcher. However, there were some 19th century Chinese artists who could closely mimic the Liverpool school style, and a Chinese junk appears off the Bangalore's starboard bow. Further complicating the attribution, the port scene in the background appears to be Southeast Asian, and the small boat off the port bow appears to be manned by dark-skinned men in turbans, both of which point us in yet another direction.
Estimate $3,000-4,000
loss to lower center edge, evidence of old repairs just apove bowsprit, and just above lighthouse, with associated retouch.
