The Medway sailing barge 'Cerf' on the River Crouch, Essex
Oil painting, signed and dated lower left 'Cornelius Wagner 37'. The ketch-rigged coastal cargo barge shown is sailing into the River Crouch, with the village of Burnham-on-Crouch to the left. By the 1930s this was already well established as a popular east coast leisure-sailing centre, as the yachts included here show. The square white structure in the distance, to the left of the yacht under sail, is the clubhouse of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. This was founded at Erith on the Thames in 1872 but moved to Burnham twenty years later, where this award-winning (and now Grade-2 listed) modernist building, designed by Joseph Emberton, was opened in 1931. Wagner (1870 - 1956) was a successful German landscape and marine painter.
