"A Cluster of Barges Drying Their Sails in Shoreham Harbour" is a maritime painting by the British artist William Anderson (1757–1837). Known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of ships and coastal scenes, Anderson's work captures the essence of maritime life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular painting, as the title suggests, portrays a group of barges in the naturalistic setting of Shoreham Harbour, a location on the south coast of England that was significant for trade and fishing during the period.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to the rigging and structure of the barges, as well as the play of light on the sails and water. Anderson's use of color and his ability to convey the texture of the sails and the reflections in the water demonstrate his mastery of marine art. The scene is likely to be set against a backdrop of the Sussex coastline, with the barges' sails hung out to dry, a common practice when the vessels were not in use.

William Anderson's work often reflects the influence of Dutch marine painting, and "A Cluster of Barges Drying Their Sails in Shoreham Harbour" is no exception. It is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the interplay between the natural and working elements of coastal life. While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is a valuable piece within Anderson's oeuvre, offering insight into the maritime history and the daily activities of the time.

The painting is of interest not only to art historians but also to those studying the history of maritime commerce and the evolution of shipping technology. As with many of Anderson's paintings, this work is likely to be held in a museum or private collection, contributing to the visual documentation of Britain's rich nautical heritage.
