Shipping in the Harbor of Ostend with a French Barque approaching, by Franz Hünten 1857 - with the old Pier and Lighthouse on the right, in the foreground a rudder boat is pulling out and on the left side a Flemish Smack is landing at the opposite Pier, another Schooner is heading out of the Port, numerous persons in marine clothings of the period are shown - Oil on canvas - signed "F. Hünten" and dated 1857 lower left - 53 x 71 cm (21 x 28 in) and with frame 62 x 79 cm (24 1/2 x 31 in) - in a 20th Century golden frame (not the best frame) - Price (incl. s&h): EUR 5850 (convert to your currency)

Note: This painting was found in the original condition from 1857 (happens very rarely). It was dirty and had two small (coin size) damages - on the left pier and on the right in the water. After it was professionally cleaned and after the two areas had been restored it received a new varnish and is ready to hang for the next 150 years. This painting has not been "overrestored" - it still shows a good Patina, eg. there is craquelure and there are light age signs.

Portrait of an Polar Bear on an Ice Floe in the Arctic near Greenland, ca. 1860-70 - with another larger ice floe in the background - large and very detailled Silk and Wool Embroidery - 64 by 89 cm (25 by 35 inch) sight, with frame 74 x 99,5 cm (29 by 39 inch) - signed lower left "H. Koch" - good original condition and in the orginal frame, protected under glass - price (incl. s&h): EUR 1680 (convert to your currency)

Note: Heinrich Koch was a drawing and embroidery artist who lived and worked in Hamburg, Germany. Due to the immense work and time which was necessary for his embroidery pictures of extraordinary quality and size his Ouevre was quite small and we never noticed in the last 20 years any work by him which was available for sale. Greenland and the Arctic was in the 18th Century and in the first half of the 19th Century a popular hunting ground for Whaling Ships (which were often also hunting seal) from Germany and Denmark. It might be possible that this picture was made following this old tradition.

After his travels in Italy (1833 and 1834) he worked in Munich (where he became member of the Munich Art Club), Oldenburg (where he became Court Painter) and Hamburg (where eg. this painting was exhibited at Commeter). He also exhited in Dresden and in Berlin at the Academy. This painting fits perfect for a living room with light colors and in combination with antique and/or modern furniture.
