Provenance: Jack Partridge, Edgecombe, Maine.Purchased from the above at the Winter Antiques Show, New York, January 26, 1986.The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.The Medina was a fine example of an East Indiaman constructed after the turn of the 19th Century. Painting a ship from more than one perspective, as seen here, was a common practice in ship portraiture. Whitcombe accomplishes this while presenting a detailed composition of a ship leaving its pilot and with its crew busily engaged in setting sails for her voyage.Thomas Whitcombe was one of the important maritime chroniclers during the French Revolutionary War period, and he made paintings for at least 150 wartime engravings, in addition to his peaceful subjects and other war pictures. He exhibited 56 paintings at the Royal Academy between 1783 and 1824. Thirty-five of his paintings are in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.
