Relief Carved and Painted Frigate

About the Item

A rare relief carved and painted sailing ship on heavy board depicting a three-masted 26 gun third-class US naval frigate under partially reefed sail nearing a point of land with a lighthouse, showing in great detail sailors on board securing crates, all under an atmospheric stormy sky in a dark sea with foam topped waves, with the ship flying the distress ensign of a red saltire on a white background. A desirable piece of vernacular folk art.
