Ship portraits
Oil on canvas from 1881 by Josep Mongay Torné, one of the great painters of ship’s portraits from the 19th-century Catalan school. The Ana de Sala is shown in the midst of all the activity at the port of Barcelona, alongside boats and barges transporting merchandise to the steamship. The ship, which still has the auxiliary rigging of a brig, was property of the Sala y Vidal society. It ran the Barcelona-Havana-United States-Barcelona route, where it primarily carried cotton.
