Lorenz Petersen (1803-1870) - Ship Portrait of the Danish Bark *Otto geführt von Capt. J. Ahlmann* under sail off Heligoland ca. 1860 - the vessel is shown at good weather conditions near the Island in the North Sea with a Steamer from Hamburg in the left background - Oil on canvas - 47 by 64,5 cm (18 1/2 by 25 1/2 inch), with frame ca. 66 x 84 cm (26 by 33 inch) - inscribed on the left with with title - original canvas (unlined), cleaned, only little retouch, in generally good to very good condition, 19th Century gold frame - The Baltic Sea Collection

Note: The steamship shown is most likely the packet ship to Heligoland, which appears often in paintings by the Petersen / Holm artists. This work convinces with a very detailled depiction of the vessel as well as with a realistic handling of the sea and sky. There is only a trace visible from the signature on the right, but the execution, style and title writing on the left identifies this anyway as a painting by Lorenz Petersen.

Captain`s Porcelain Cup with a painted Portrait of the Danish Bark *Otto* in choppy seas ca. 1860 - the vessel is shown under reduced sails on the open sea - Porcelain Cup with Saucer and Silver Spoon - the cup 9,2 cm (3 1/2 in) high and diameter of 11,5 cm (4 1/2 in), the saucer with diameter of 16,5 cm (6 1/2 in), total high of cup and saucer 10,5 cm (4 1/4 in) - inscribed on the feet of cup "Otto" and signed at reverse bottom "J.G. Hauthal" - original condition as preserved by the Captain`s family, gilting at upper margins partial rubbed, cleaned, no repair or repaint - date 1860 on saucer - The Baltic Sea Collection

Note: The Saucer is marked on reverse bottom with the maker`s sign TPM. Hauthal was a well known porcelain painter from Hamburg, who obviously also sometimes co-operated with the Petersen/Holm artists. We suppose the painting and the cup have been made during the same visit of Capt. Ahlmann in Hamburg. This would also explain the different view of the ship under reduced sails.

Benjamin Tindall (British, fl. 1846-1880) - Ship Portrait of the Norwegian Barque *Nordsternen* off an Island near Hull, ca. 1860 - the sailing ship is shown under full sail in two positions off an Island in the Northern Sea - Oil on canvas, 61 by 92 cm (24 by 36 inch), with frame 74 x 106 cm (29 by 42 inch) - inscribed on bow and on a flag with the name of ship and ident. No. M 77 - Private Collection New Jersey, USA

Note: A typical ship portrait by Tindall and an interesting early oil painting of large size. A typical feature of his paintings is to show the portrayed vessel in two positions off a coastal point and to paint three seagulls sailing over the waves in the foreground. Paintings by Tindall can be found in numerous Maritime Museums around the world, most notable in the Alands Maritime Museum in Mariehamn, which has no less than 14 paintings by him.
