James E. Buttersworth
An outstanding work by maritime master, James E. Buttersworth, this painting shows the Hudson River Schooner PHILLIP R. PAULDING cutting through the waters around Manhattan. Just in front of her bow is Castle Clinton and the masts of many other ships docked behind and near the fort. Built in 1840, the PAULDING was one of many used to transport cargo along the Hudson River. A fine and detailed portrait.
