“L’Hermione” Ship’s captain

The 32-gun frigate “L’Hermione” sailed from Rochefort, France to tour the East coast of the United States in the summer of 2015. She is the replica of the Marquis D’ Lafayette’s ship, which arrived in 1780 to assist General George Washington. This “Tall Ships America” Philadelphia parade featured a number of sailing vessels. The captain is pictured here looking Westward with his spyglass/telescope under arm. The rigging in the background was made clear by combining portraiture focus and landscape mode for composition. This I framed as a 20”x20” canvas wall art print.
