A Royal Navy warship anchored in a bay, unsigned, graphite and chalk on paper, gallery label verso, 11 x 14 3/4 in.; frame, 18-3/8 x 22-1/4 in.

Note: A view of a Royal Navy warship, probably a 74-gun "Third Rater" at anchor with boats out and sails slackened and with a manned gig in the foreground. Charles Tattershall Dodd the Elder lived for most of his life in Tunbridge Wells and was the town's foremost Victorian artist. He studied at the Royal College of Art, London, winning a gold medal for drawing, and was Drawing Master at the Tonbridge School for some forty years. He exhibited his work at the British Institution from 1830, the Suffolk Street Gallery from 1832, and at the Royal Academy from 1847 to 1859. Primarily a landscape artist, his work is in the John Costable tradition.
