Arthur Wellington Fowles (British, 1815-1883)

The America off Ryde, Isle of Wight
with Osborne House in the distance
signed and dated 'A.Fowles/1852' (lower left)
oil on canvas
36 x 54cm (14 1/8 x 21 1/4in).
unframed

Footnotes

The 170 ton schooner America was built in New York in 1851 by George Steers for the commodore of the New York Yacht Club, John Stevens, especially to race in English waters. She was launched on the 3rd May 1851 and by late June she left New York for England. On the 22nd August 1851, in a race around the Isle of White, America finished first of 16 starters. She was awarded the cup presented by the Royal Yacht Squadron, known ever since as The America's Cup.

The present lot, painted in 1852, presumably depicts America racing in the regatta that secured her place in yachting history and established the cup still awarded today and seen as one of the most coveted sporting trophies.
