The brigantine 'Satellite'
Ship portrait, signed. Oil painting of the brigantine 'Satellite' in starboard-broadside view, flying her code number, a house flag of a blue diamond on a red field, and with her name on her bow. The cliffs at Dover are in the distance beyond on the right, with the Admiralty pier visible, probably dating the picture to the late 1860s at earliest. For details on the artist, see BHC3286.
