About the Item

Artist/ School: Anglo/ American School, early 19th century. Title: Full length portrait of a seated young gentleman wearing a dark suit, cream waistcoat and white stock, his right hand resting on a chart of the Atlantic dated 1821 with a view of a merchant ship at sea in the distance. A very fine and rare work. The map in the painting shows a section of the Atlantic Ocean, including the Cape Verde islands, Ecuador, and part of South America labeled as "America." The map also highlights key navigation points, such as the Equator and a compass rose, indicating this is likely a chart used for maritime exploration or trade routes. The map suggests the figure in the painting may be involved in navigation, cartography, or maritime trade during a period when the Atlantic was a key focus for European explorers and merchants. Medium: oil painting on canvas, framed. Size: canvas: 28 x 20.5 inches, framed: 34 x 26 inches Provenance: private collection, England. Condition: The painting is in very good and pleasing condition, having been relined, with a fine but stable craquelure running throughout the paint.

Located in Woodbury, CT
The former Curator of Oil Paintings at the National Maritime Museum, E H H Archibald, says of Joseph Heard in his Dictionary of Sea Painters in Europe and America that "…with Samuel Walters he must stand as the top-ranking Liverpool ship portraitist of the 19th century." He would have known the artist's work well as the National Maritime Museum has eleven paintings by Heard in its collection. Joseph Heard was born on 7th March 1799 in Egremont near Whitehaven in Cumberland. His father, also Joseph, was a saddler and it is believed that the aspirant painter received some artistic training from John Clementson who was a local portrait painter. Joseph had a brother Isaac who painted portraits. It is possible that Joseph came across the work of H Collins...
