A number of sailors are also shown on deck. Brigantines were two-masted vessels and ?L?Avennire? probably travelled to Australia in the last few decades before sail gave way to steam.
The artist was a marine painter, who, together with his son, worked in France. The painting is signed ?ED Adam 1881?.
Signed Ed Adam and dated 1881.
