The America's Cup, first contested in 1851, is the oldest international sporting trophy and has become a symbol of sailing excellence and competition. The 1893 race, held off the coast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, was a best-of-three series that showcased the latest advancements in yacht design and naval engineering of the era.

The artist's ability to depict the sleek lines of the competing yachts, the texture of the sea, and the tension of the race has made this painting an important piece of America's Cup history. It serves as a visual record of the design and craftsmanship of late 19th-century yachts and reflects the spirit of competition and innovation that characterized the period.
