      My guess, is a tea clipper.

      It's a commercial clipper. No pennants, three-masted, square-rigged. I don't see a spanker (or driver sail) and no indication of it also being steam powered, as well.

      The style was common from the mid-1800's through the end of the century.

      Spankers/drivers (which were more common than not) are fore and aft sails rigged behind the mizzen course (after most mast, lower sail) on a gaff (a pole set out horizontally from the mizzen mast) and used to give a little extra impetus.

      IMHO, this is a romanticized image and not a particular vessel. Otherwise, there'd be some identifying features (name, figurehead, markings, flags, etc.)
