Lot# 100 ANTONIO JACOBSEN (American, 1850-1921) PORTRAIT OF THE STEAMSHIP CZARITZA. Large oil on board of the twin stack steamer Czaritza of the Russian/American ship line. This wide painting is taken up almost entirely by the ship (50"). Ship sails right to left and has a black hull and white upper decks. Two masts, one having American flag and the other having the Russian flag. Also, a large Russian flag flies astern and at smaller one at the bow. There are nine lifeboats and thirty-seven people shown on decks. Smoke comes from two white stacks and ship cuts through a wavy blue and green sea. Blue sky with puffy white clouds with darker clouds off the stern. Signed lower right "Antonio Jacobsen 1915". Housed in a gold gesso decorated frame, which has damage. SIZE: 29-1/2" x 59-3/4". CONDITION: This painting is in original untouched condition. It is in need of restoration, predominately in major areas where the brown of the board is showing through. This is pretty much in places all over the painting. When restored, this will be a magnificent painting due to its size and large rendering of the ship. 9-94009 (10,000-20,000)
