It has been mounted to another canvas. This beautiful period work of Butterworth was acquired from a Hudson Valley NY estate, an area where James Buttersworth spent a great deal of time.

Following after his father Thomas Buttersworth a highly regarded maritime artist, James established himself as one of the most noted American ship painters. His striking attention to detail and grace portrayed by his nautical paintings remains unparalleled to this day. They are truly beautiful works which set nicely in most every setting.
