Description
WILLIAM EDGAR
California/Australia, 1870-c. 1925
The schooner Herman. Signed lower right "W. Edgar".
Oil on canvas, 16" x 24". Framed 19.75" x 27.75".
Provenance:
A private collection, Southern California.
The West Sea Company, Old Town, San Diego, California.
Matthew Turner (1825-1909), who built the Herman, was an American sea captain, shipbuilder and designer. He constructed 228 vessels, of which 154 were built in the Matthew Turner shipyard in Benicia. He built more sailing vessels than any other single shipbuilder in America and can be considered the "granddaddy" of big-time wooden shipbuilding on the Pacific Coast.

Condition
Overall very good condition. The canvas is unlined and under UV examination there are no apparent signs of restoration or repair. Under white light there is a stable craquelure across the surface of the canvas, however the painting presents well and can be hung as is.
