About the Item

Although this is unsigned, it is one of a very collectable genre of ship's paintings. Often called Pierhead Paintings, they were frequently commissioned by the Ship's Owner and is a record of the Vessel often the characters on deck include the Captain and the Owner. This painting is really quite delightful when you poke your nose into the detail and see the sailors scampering around on deck and in the rigging. Note the Captain with his telescope! It is an important historical record from a bygone era when Sailing Boats ruled the waves, it is housed in a traditional style walnut frame. It has an old label attached to the mount with the title Chilian Packet. A really impressive Watercolour in good condition with fresh colours.

    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    Painted en plein air. Frame Dimensions: 9 x 15in Artist Bio: Nelson H. White was born in New London, Connecticut in 1932. White has been surrounded by art and artists from the time he was born.

White began to study at Mitchell College in Connecticut but left to pursue studies in the violin, musical theory and composition.
