Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

Motifs:	Ship Portraits and Seascapes, Harbour or Coastal motifs and also romantic moonlight scenes
Prices:	Prices are starting at Euro 600 (Continental Europe) for small works. Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an email to receive an exact offer for your work by this artist (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes:	Bille received first hand nautical experience through his former profession as a seafarer and started his artistic career at the age of 35. Although widely known for his romantic seascapes, he also did a few ship portraits prior to 1867. Quite a few paintings of inferior quality bear his signature or are wrongly attributed.
