T. Bailey (American, Early 20th Century), Sailing Ship at Sea

Oil on canvas, signed at lower left, framed. Stretcher size 14 x 10 1/4 in.; Frame dimensions 16 3/4 x 13 in. “T. Bailey” is a pseudonym used in the early 20th century for marine paintings produced around Cape Ann and sold by dealer Morris Hambro. Various artists, including William Frederick Paskell and Max Berman, have been linked to the name. However, descendants of Harry Hambro Howe dispute the claim that Bailey was fictitious, asserting that Captain T. Bailey Howe was a real artist and whaling captain who taught his son, Harry Hambro Howe, to paint, supported by period newspaper articles and advertisements. Additional family accounts and research suggest multiple artists may have been involved, and the true identity behind “T. Bailey” remains unresolved. Dent to the center of the work, flake to lower edge, surface stain to right lower edge.
