Cannon Salute to an American Ship of the Line, New York Harbor
Unsigned.
Oil on canvas, 32 1/2 x 44 in., in a molded frame.
Condition: Lined, surface grime.

Note: This scene, due to the number of what appear to be dignitaries aboard, likely depicts some sort of celebration - a holiday, an anniversary, the announcement of the vessel's readiness for battle, or some other such event. Castle Williams, the New York Harbor landmark, is visible off the vessel's port bow.
