Diorama Of Clipper Ship Daisy
New England
Late 19th Century

As depicted, an unusual and successful work depicting the Clipper Ship Daisy, her bow displaying a painted American flag...her three masts and bowsprit under the weight of full sail; arched carved sails seemingly capturing the ocean's breeze against the blue sky: the rigging includes glass "pony" beads simulating pulley's. The wonderful painted surface appears to be original and has a great patina; half-hull affixed to backboard centered by whale shaped ends joined by bottom rail of water created with a composite material. (Height: 19.75 inches; width: 27 inches; depth: 4 inches.)
