Of Stanfield, the Times wrote "There are no English painters whose works have won wider and warmer popularity outside the artistic pale. Stanfield’s practiced command of the artist of composition, his unerring sense of the agreeable and picturesque in subject and effect, his pleasant and cheerful color and last, not least, the large use to which he turned his knowledge and love of the sea and shipping… (all) added to the widespread admiration he had won by his consummately skillful scene painting, (and) combined to make him one of the most popular, if not the most popular, of landscape painters.", Image Size : 240x430 (mm), 9.45x16.93 (Inches), Platemark Size : 385x530 (mm), 15.16x20.87 (Inches), Paper Size : 435x605 (mm), 17.13x23.82 (Inches), Coloring: Hand Colored, Medium: Engraving, Categories: Naval;.
