78 6235 Groenewegen G 1754 1826
- Browned; surface damage along margins; a few whitish stains and some darkening in the sky area. Extended margins. Sold w.a.f.
= Interesting drawing, with extensive information (by Remmert Daalder), stating i.a. that the ship flying the American flag on the right is probably the American merchant frigate "Harriet of Georgetown". This identification is based on a print of a ship with that name that Groenewegen published in 1793 and which shows a very similar frigate carrying the name "Harriet of Georgetown" on its stern. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CIX.
