"American Frigate off Gibraltar" is a maritime painting by the renowned 19th-century Anglo-American artist James Edward Buttersworth (1817–1894). Known for his exquisite ship portraits and marine art, Buttersworth captured the majesty of the age of sail with his detailed and evocative works. This particular painting, dated to the mid-19th century, depicts a United States Navy frigate majestically sailing in the waters off the coast of Gibraltar, a strategic location at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.

The painting is characteristic of Buttersworth's style, which is noted for its precision in the portrayal of the vessels and the sea. His ability to render the intricate rigging of the ships and the subtle variations of the ocean's surface reflects his deep understanding of maritime subjects. The American frigate, with its sails fully billowed and the American flag prominently displayed, is likely intended to convey a sense of national pride and the prowess of the United States' naval power during a period when such presence was increasingly significant on the global stage.

"American Frigate off Gibraltar" is not only an example of Buttersworth's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document reflecting the naval and maritime heritage of the United States. The painting would have appealed to both art connoisseurs and naval enthusiasts of the era, and it continues to be appreciated by modern audiences for its historical value and aesthetic beauty.

As with many of Buttersworth's works, "American Frigate off Gibraltar" is likely to be held in a private collection or exhibited in a museum specializing in maritime art or history. James E. Buttersworth's paintings are highly sought after by collectors and are often featured in auctions where they command high prices, reflecting their significance in the realm of maritime art.
