The clipper 'Sea Horse'

A starboard broadside view of the the clipper 'Sea Horse', painted by Joseph Heard. Signed 'Jo Heard', lower left. There appears to be a date with the signature, but it is difficult to read. It has previously been read as '1861', but this is perhaps unlikely given that the artist is believed to have died in 1859.
