This is a reproduction of "Mouth of the Delaware" of 1828 by Thomas Birch. The painting depicts the mouth of the Delaware at either Deepwater Point or Cape Henlopen. There are storm clouds from the sea and the topsail schooner is going to sea despite the weather. A merchant ship moves upriver towards the right while two sailors furl sails in response to the rising wind. The fishing dingy is being rowed towards the shore by four oarsmen. The forty-nine year old Thomas Birch had been born in London and had been in the United States since 1794. He died in Philadelphia on January 3, 1851. The original painting is 30 inches by 20 inches and is in the White House, Washington, D. C.
