Description: | 'A clipper near the Needles' signed lower right, 'J. Adams RYDE 1889'. Previously wrongly attributed to John Clayton Adams, for no apparently good reason (since he was a contemporary English landscape painter based in Surrey). This is the only example by this hand listed in Archibald's 'Dictionary of Sea Painters' which, probably rightly, suggests he was a ship portraitist based at Ryde, Isle of Wight, as the subject and signature suggest. [PvdM 8/13]
