Pilot sloop navigating the river Mersey before the port of Liverpool. unsigned. The painting was bought on the basis of the following description: There are traces of a pencil inscription on the stretcher verso, together with the artist's address, 105 Leadenhall Street, London and an indistict date provenance; Purchased from the Boydell Galleries, Liverpool. I can see the remnants of the Boydell label, but I am unable to read the inscription referred to.

The painting has been relined at some point and cleaned and varnished recently. A really pleasing artwork, presented in an ornate frame.
