Description
English: Outward Bound, James W. Williams (fl. 1823-1849), Anglo-American.

This oil on canvas depicts a British vessel leaving what is believed to be a port in the American south, very likely the port of New Orleans itself. With a view of the settlement beyond, a stone battlement guards the harbor mouth while a full-rigged ship sits at anchor, awaiting its next passage.
This Philadelphia area artist was born in England and emigrated to America in 1823. He stayed in Pennsylvania until 1836, and returned for the years 1847-67. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1829, 1830 and 1844. He also spent a few years in New Orleans, 1843-45, during which time this painting is believed to have been performed.

An example of Williams’ work can be found in the Peabody Museum of Salem, Massachusetts.
