Portrait Of The Ship Plymouth Rock19th century
19th century
About the Item
Duncan McFarlane. This excellent ship portraitist began his life's work in Liverpool. It is believed that he later sailed to America and was employed in the capacity of a ship and figure portraitist in Boston (one of his works was published by Currier & Ives as a lithograph).
As a majority of McFarlane's works are unsigned, he has often been confused with Liverpool artist Samuel Walters. His paintings are noted for their skilled draftsmanship and in the ratio of ships to the overall picture area.
A number of artistic trademarks are associated with McFarlane: small seabirds hovering over the water, luffed sails with very crisply defined borders and the fine lettering on the vessels' name boards, which ranks amongst the most well delineated of all marine and maritime art.
McFarlane's work is rarely seen on the public market. His talent has inspired historian A. S. Davidson to define him as "a true artisan of marine art". We are lucky to have a few of his pieces as part of our portfolio.

The Screw-Steamer Westernland.
Located in Jacksonville, FL
Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen’s The Screw-Steamer Westernland captures the imposing presence and engineering prowess of this late 19th-century steamship. The vessel is depicted in motion, cutting through the waters with its towering masts and powerful steam funnel in full display. Jacobsen’s meticulous attention to detail brings the Westernland to life, from the carefully rendered hull and rigging to the soft ripples in the water reflecting the ship’s passage. The backdrop, a moody yet luminous sky, adds to the sense of movement and grandeur, emphasizing the ship’s role in the rapidly evolving maritime industry of the time.
Jacobsen, renowned for his precise and historically significant ship portraits, played a vital role in documenting the era’s most important vessels. His work on The Screw-Steamer Westernland exemplifies his ability to blend artistic finesse with technical accuracy, making his paintings invaluable both as historical records and as masterful works of art. His contributions to maritime painting ensured that the ships of his time would be immortalized with the same grandeur they once commanded on the open seas.
