This particular work captures a historic moment in yachting history, portraying the sloop 'Maria' in a competitive race against the schooner yacht 'America,' which would later gain international fame for winning the inaugural America's Cup in 1851.

Buttersworth, who lived from 1817 to 1894, was a master of maritime art, and his paintings are celebrated for their meticulous detail, dynamic composition, and the ability to convey the elegance and energy of the vessels he depicted.
