PROVENANCE:
Gifted in 1986 by the artist to the present owner
HMY Prince Regent was given as a gift by William IV (21 August 1765 – 20 June 1837) to Said bin Sultan Al-Said, (5 June 1790 – 19 October 1856) Sultan of Oman and Muscat, in 1837, to reciprocate the 74 gun Liverpool (later named Imaum on its arrival to England), which was sent to the King the previous year from the Sultan.
The present lot depicts the yacht sailing, probably under the command of Captain Robert Cogan, in the Straits of Hormuz en route to Muscat. Amongst the various figures on board, the Sultan is depicted wearing a red turban on the quarter deck.
