label: Description
content: The painting shows a dual view of the <I>Lintin</I> arriving at Cape Town. The painting shows a house flag, a red background with a white circle, which indicates that the painting was created while she was still under the ownership of Barton & Co. The barque on the right is flying the same house flag. Artist Joseph Heard was born in 1799 in Whitehaven, Cumberland. Following a brief stay in London, Heard moved to Liverpool sometime after the mid 1820s. He shared a studio with his brother who painted portraits. Heard became extremely popular second only to Samuel Walters. Joseph died in 1859.
