It is signed on a paper label on the reverse and there is also an exhibition label from Bond Street galleries Picadilly in 1855 #9. This is a masterpiece work by Hook! Here is some info on the artist. James Clarke Hook was a British artist born in London.
He trained at the Royal Academy and continued his studies in Italy, Paris, and Switzerland. Hook's work often explored the relationship between the navy and British identity in the mid-19th century. He was particularly interested in coastal subjects and the effect of the sea on domestic life. Hook's attention to detail is evident in the legible envelope addressed to William Dibble.
