About this motif
In the 17th century the large merchant ships of the East India Companies sailed as far as Asia. With their high sterns and many sails they were floating fortresses.
Peters' etching "Sailing Ship" (KVCF-368) shows, in portrait format, a large ship with a high, ornate stern at anchor, with a rowing boat in front. Image about 7 x 9 cm on a 13 x 18 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
