Description: | Signed: yes Description: The naïve style of this painting suggests that the artist may have earned a living producing ships portraits to order. Glass painting was a popular technique in the nineteenth century. The method involved initially painting the highlights, followed by the main subjects and background, in reverse of the conventional order. Unfortunately the artist made a small error and did not reverse the name Thetis on the side of the ship, so that it appears to us as mirror writing. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wetys, P.
