This is a particularly lovely example of this rare sailor's woolie subject. The Sailor's Farewell and the Sailor's Return are romantic motifs found in British art of the 19th century. Here we have the farewell depicting a sailor in uniform with his loved one hugging him as they stand by their red-bricked house which is located by the seashore. In the background stands a fort flying the Union Jack. A ship with the White ensign can be seen in the bay behind the figures flying its commissioning pendant. This particular woolwork has a complex design with different colored fields, tree lines, and an unusual topography in general. The colors of the wool remain strong. Dimensions: 23 1/2 inches high x 24 1/2 inches wide (59.69cm high x 62.23cm wide). The Sailor's Return is a common romantic motif in British art of the 19th century. Here a sailor, who has recently reached shore, is returning to his village, with his rucksack on his back and his earnings in hand, as his wife and dog run to greet him.
