Samuel Atkins (c1765–1808)
A dismasted and collapsed Man-o-War (possibly in the East Indies)
Grey wash over pencil 5 x 6 3/4 in ( 12.6 x 17.5 cm) Price £ 980
A fine monocrome example of this fine but underrated marine artist. It is worth mentioning how well observed the sails are on the vessel in the foreground.This picture has come to me privately from a collection in the West Country.
