About the Item
The painting Brigantine at Sea by William Pierce Stubbs captures the majesty of a two-masted brigantine cutting through the open waters under a vast and atmospheric sky. The vessel is depicted in precise detail, with its sails billowing against the wind, the hull expertly rendered to showcase the craftsmanship of the time. The deep blues of the ocean contrast beautifully with the lighter tones of the sky, creating a dynamic yet serene maritime scene. Stubbs’ mastery of light and reflection is evident in the shimmering water and the subtle variations in the sky’s hues, evoking both movement and tranquility. The careful attention to the ship’s rigging and the delicate brushwork in the waves speak to his dedication to accuracy and artistry.
This work is an exemplary piece of late 19th-century American maritime painting, a genre that sought to document the ships that defined the era’s commerce and exploration. Stubbs, known for his meticulous ship portraits, played a crucial role in preserving the visual history of maritime trade as the age of sail gave way to steam. Brigantine at Sea embodies this transition, blending the traditional craftsmanship of sailing vessels with the shifting technological landscape of the time. His work, rooted in the American folk art tradition, remains highly regarded for its historical significance and artistic precision, ensuring that the maritime legacy he depicted endures for generations.
William Pierce Stubbs, was a marine and maritime painter working in the Boston area in the 19th Century. Examples of his work are in the Bostonian Society, Cape Ann Museum and Peabody Essex Museum. He also lived in Bucksport, Maine.

The Brigantine E. MILLER
By Elisha Taylor Baker
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
This luminous work depicts the American merchant brigantine E. MILLER. The sun sits low behind the ship, illuminating the sky with colors of yellow and deep rose tones. The sun has just touched the sea at the ship's bow and around her stern, creating a halo of light in the small waves. The E. Miller is in full sail with sailors active on her deck, with her brightly colored name pennant snapping in the wind alongside the American flag and company flag. Though unsigned, this is clearly the work of artist Elisha Tyler Baker. Baker only signed about a third of his paintings, so this is not unusual for the artist. The rendering of the vessel to his touch in the sea and sky all give very clear clues that the work is his.
Though little information remains about her voyages we know the ship E. MILLER was built in Virginia by the Surry Company in 1856 and had a weight of 132 tons. Sailing out of Richmond she was also known to frequent the port of Baltimore. From Richmond she would have carried out agricultural goods, lumber, and iron, while importing manufactured goods and guano to fertilize Virginia's tobacco fields.
Given that she was built before the Civil War and was ported in Richmond throughout the war, it's likely the E. MILLER was involved in moving goods to supply Confederate forces.

Richard Ball Spencer
British, (1812-1897)
The Perthshire off Ailsa Craig
Oil on canvas, signed
Image size: 22.25 inches x 36.25 inches
Size including frame: 31 inches x 45 inches
This painting by Richard Ball Spencer is of the Perthshire, a three-masted barque sailing off Ailsa Craig. The Perthshire was built in Dundee in 1874 and was owned by Thomas Law of 123 Hope Street, Glasgow. The red ensign flying on the mizzenmast indicates it was a British merchant or passenger ship. The owner may well have commissioned the painting to commemorate its maiden voyage. Ailsa Craig, pictured to the far left, is a small uninhabited island off the west mainland of Scotland in the outer Firth of Clyde. The island is made up of volcanic rock which was quarried in the past and is now only used as a source of microgranite to make curling stones. The island is known by a number of different names including A' Chreag (the rock) and Creag Alasdair (Alasdair's rock). It was also sometimes referred to in the past as ‘Paddy’s Milestone’ as it marked the halfway of the sea journey Belfast to Glasgow made by Irish Emigrants seeking work.
Richard Ball Spencer was born in London’s East End on 11 November, 1812 to John and Elizabeth Ball. His father was a grocer and the family lived at 106 York Road in Mile End. Both Richard and his brother Thomas were given their mother’s maiden name as their middle names.
By 1841, he had established himself as a marine painter specialising in ship portraits and was influenced by artists such as Joseph Heard (1799-1859), William John Huggins (1781-1845) and Robert Salmon (c1775-1845). He spent his time travelling to trading ports around the British coast as well as the nearby London docks of Brunswick Wharf and the Isle of...
