Antonio N.G. Jacobsen (1850-1921), "Creole, Screw Steamship", oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right "A. Jacobsen 1895-(New) 31 PALISADE AV. WEST HOBOKEN, N.J.", canvas size 22 in. x 36 in., frame size 28 1/2 in. x 42 1/2 in. E20000-30000 Note: The Creole was built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Newport News, Virginia and launched August 8th, 1896. She was built for the Cromwell Steamship Company and, as a passenger ship, made regular runs between New York and New Orleans. She eventually was sold to the U.S. Navy and saw extensive service in the Spanish-American War. Jacobsen frequently painted from plans and blueprints, which accounts for the lag time between launch and painting dates.
