The pocket square portrays a painting of the bow view of the 'Iquique', concentrating on its relationship between sea, sky and ship.

The artist has used a specific and unusual viewpoint showing the ship in full sail, high in the water and cut off at the top of the painting. Banks of cloud are massed as shapes of colour, creating a gloomy backdrop. In the distance towards the horizon, a rainbow and shaft of light are visible. The dramatic effect has been created by the depiction of the weather and by the placement of the ship within the picture. The light shines across the surface of the water, creating a rich navy contrast against the clouds. 

About The Artist: John Everett was an English painter born in Dorchester, Dorset in 1876. Known as Herbert by his family before changing his name to John in 1901. After studying briefly at the Académie Julian in Paris, Everett's life took an unconventional path when he embarked on the first of his 16 sea voyages. He created many remarkable and timeless paintings in the early 1920s. Although 1938 marked his last voyage and World War II put an end to his sea travels, he was to paint and make prints from memory and notes from that point.
