A 51 Gun Frigate is a 1883 watercolor by William Frederick Settle, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two large sailing ships on a choppy sea. The waves are rough and white, crashing around the hulls. The ships have tall masts with billowing sails, and the sky is pale with a soft glow. The bigger ship in the front looks like a warship, with multiple cannons lined up along its sides. The smaller ship in the back is also sailing, but it’s farther away. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
