Antonio Jacobson,
1850-1921. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, he migrated to the
United States in 1873 where he began his career of painting ship
portraits. He studied at the Royal Academy of Design where he
further developed his skills as an accomplished artist. It is said
he painted over 6000 portraits of both steam and sailing vessels and
while this portrait, of an unknown ship, is very well done, it also
remains in very good condition. It appears there are some small
areas of touch up and looks as if it had a light cleaning at some
point in its lifetime. He was often called "The Audubon of Steam
Vessels". Size: 21.5 x 15.5 overall. Inventory number 24-572.
