About the Item
This striking oil on canvas depicts the famed barque Archibald Russell under full sail, cutting confidently through open water with a smaller vessel trailing behind. Painted in 1984 by John Richard Perry, the composition captures the romance and power of early 20th-century deep-water sailing, with meticulous attention paid to rigging, hull details, and the play of light across the sea. The cool blue palette and dramatic sky lend the scene a sense of movement and quiet grandeur, evoking the long ocean passages for which such vessels were renowned.
The Archibald Russell, launched in 1905, was one of the celebrated steel barques of the great age of sail, and Perry’s rendering pays clear homage to maritime history while maintaining a strong decorative presence. The ship is shown heeled slightly as it advances, its sails billowing with purpose, while the surrounding water is rendered with subtle tonal shifts that suggest depth and motion. The painting is signed and dated by the artist at the lower right, with identifying inscription at the lower left, grounding the work firmly in both historical subject matter and modern authorship.
The painting is presented in a handsome gilt frame that complements the nautical subject and enhances its visual impact. It is in nice vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and normal use. Any minor surface or frame wear is in keeping with a work of this period and does not detract from its overall presentation. A compelling piece for collectors of maritime art, sailing enthusiasts, or anyone looking to anchor a room with a classic seafaring image. 37h x 47w x 3d
