This is a wonderful, and very folky, 19th C. American nautical diorama, with finely carved and painted wooden sails, in a fabulous shadow box with a detailed painted background and rough seas that consist of painted gesso, all housed in a period wood frame with gold liner. A terrific piece of early American folk art! (minor losses and replaced glass).
