Signed, inscribed and dated 'To Stuart Black 12 August 1924', oil on canvas
Stuart Black was born in Glasgow in 1877 and had a passion for sailing yachts. He was the first owner of 'Ceres', a Gareloch One Design Class and presented a trophy in his name which was competed for annually in Gareloch racing from 1924 until 1936. In September 1930 his Fife-designed yacht 'Coral' was in the the British team for the America's Cup, held at the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, but the hosts had a clean sweep in the races.
