Some info on the artist:

Artist: Jacobsen, Antonio Nicolo Gasparo (American, 1850-1921) - Oilpaintings and a few Gouaches
Place: Worked and lived in Manhattan and West Hoboken, USA.
Motifs: Ship Portraits, mainly of ocean-going Steamers, but also of Sailing Vessels and Yachts; a few Seascapes as well
Prices: Offers for large oilpaintings by Antonio Jacobsen (22 x 36 in.and larger) are starting at US $ 3,500 (in the USA) or BP 2,000 (in Great Britain) or Euro 3.000 (Continental Europe). Smaller paintings are starting at US $ 1,500 in the USA and on the International Markets. Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your painting (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes: Born in Denmark, he was trained at the academy in Kobenhavn and emigrated to the US in 1873. His central profile view ship portraits of merchant sailing vessels, steamers and yachts were very much in demand (and he was really doing a good marketing!), therefore his output was immense, ca. 4,000 paintings are known. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists

Oil Painting of SS Accrington -Portratit of the English full-rigged Ship at Sea. 56 x 91 cm [22 x 36 inches] Signed

What amuses me is the artists forenames: Antonio Nicolo Gasparo. Doesn't sound particularly Danish, does it? I learnt that his father was a violin maker, so perhaps he named his son after other famous violin makers???

Tealeaf....The site where I dug up this info, states clearly that the picture is SIGNED??, maybe we'll have to go to the NZ National Gallery site and find out if it is!
