Antonio Jacobson, 1850-1921. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, he migrated to the United States in 1873 where he began his career of painting ship portraits. He studied at the Royal Academy of Design where he further developed his skills as an accomplished artist. It is said he painted over 6000 portraits of both steam and sailing vessels and while this portrait, of an unknown ship, is very well done, it also remains in very good condition.
