Watson and the Shark, John S Copley (1778)

A young cabin boy (Brook Watson) was attacked by a shark while swimming in Havana harbor. He was saved, but lost his leg. He later grew up to be Lord Mayor of London. The painting created buzz by being so grisly (Colonial JAWS!)

Evergood was obviously riffing on earlier works like John Singleton Copley's famed Watson and the Shark & Marsden Hartley's Eight Bells Folly, a memorial to poet Hart Crane
