The vessel is depicted in two positions, once in the foreground and again in the background at right. With its extensive warehouses, buildings and custom house, the Liverpool waterfront was a favorite background for such well-known ship portraitists as McMinn, Walter, MacFarlane, Heard and Hustwick. Oil on canvas, 24" x 37", in a fine reproduction frame. The reverse with label for J. Davey & Sons, Liverpool.
See pp. 82-83, A. S. Davidson's Marine Art and Liverpool Painters, Places and Flag Codes 1760-1960; and p. 50, Across the Western Ocean: American Ships by Liverpool Artists, for three similar paintings by McMinn.
Price: $26,000 KR-54-27
