"Mr. William Astor's Schooner 'Ambassadress' in New York Harbor" is a maritime painting by the distinguished 19th-century Anglo-American artist James Edward Buttersworth, known for his exquisite marine art. The painting depicts the schooner 'Ambassadress,' owned by the prominent American businessman William Backhouse Astor Sr., as it sails through the bustling waters of New York Harbor. Buttersworth's work is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail, the precision of the vessels he portrayed, and his ability to capture the dynamic elements of sea and sky.

James E. Buttersworth (1817–1894) was a preeminent maritime artist of his time, whose works are highly sought after for their historical value and artistic merit. His paintings are celebrated for their historical accuracy and serve as a visual record of the golden age of sail, where maritime trade and yachting were symbols of national prestige and economic power. "Mr. William Astor's Schooner 'Ambassadress' in New York Harbor" is a fine example of Buttersworth's skill in rendering the elegance and grace of a private luxury vessel against the backdrop of one of the world's most iconic ports.

The 'Ambassadress' was a notable schooner of its era, reflecting the wealth and status of its owner, William Astor, who was a member of the Astor family dynasty. The family was synonymous with American affluence and influence in the 19th century, and the commissioning of such a vessel would have been a testament to their standing in society. Buttersworth's painting not only captures the schooner in all its glory but also provides a glimpse into the maritime culture of the period.

The painting is a significant work within Buttersworth's oeuvre and is an important piece for collectors and historians interested in maritime history, the Astor family, and the evolution of yacht design and leisure activities among America's elite. It stands as a testament to the artist's enduring legacy and the rich tapestry of America's nautical heritage.
