Oil on Canvas
Overall size 32” x 29” / 82cm x 74cm
 
Oil painting entitled 'The Indiaman Seringapatam arriving home'. An alternative title for this painting is 'Portrait of the Seringapatam, picking up a pilot'. It has been suggested, though not conclusively, that the location may be in the mouth of the Thames off the North Foreland. The vessel, built by Richard Green of Blackwall in 1837, initiated the last generation of East Indiamen.
 
The painting is marked as after George William Butland as it appears to be a reproduction of a similar painting by Butland. The painting is period and is around 180 years old. The palette is a little naive but there is a charm to the painting. The painting has been relined due to a previous impact, it has had a full clean, restore and re-varnish. The reproduction frame is in good condition and has been recently been re-finised in an antique gilt cream finish. This painting was recently featured on the Bloomfield Art YouTube channel.
