Starboard view of the Hellas sailing in the centre of the image, flanked by vessels in the distance. A small rowing boat is docking beside the Hellas. A small patch of land features in the left background. A dark indistinguishable object floats in the foreground.
Inscribed: ‘To Alexander Grant Esqre of Carnousie. This Portrait of the Clipper Schooner, Hellas, is respectfully dedicated by O.W. Brierly. (Mr. A.A. Scanlan, Commander)’. The Hellas disappears from Lloyds Register after 1841, although she had been recorded there from 1836. Her Commander’s name is shown as ‘A. Scanlin’. This is likely to have been one of Brierly’s earlier pictures.
