The barque 'Scottish Prince'

Ship portrait. Oil painting of the barque 'Scottish Prince' in port-broadside view off a coastline with a lightouse to the left. The coast may be Scottish since the ship (name on the bow) clearly is: her house flag is a red lion rampant on a gold field, the emblem of Scotland. She is also flying the signal for a pilot (Union flag with a white border) at the fore with a pilot cutter coming out under her bow: a steamer follows her in the distance to the right.
