The experts at bruun rasmussen used the title marine med dampdrevet sejlskib ("a sailship with steam engine") for this painting. They might have been a bit more specific, because this is in fact the steamship horsa, built in renfrew, scotland in 1868 for det jydsk-engelske dampskibsselskab ("the jutland-england steamship company") in aarhus, denmark. Blache made a drawing of the horsa in aarhus in september 1868 (link to the drawing at museet for søfart mfs. Dk) and the following year he made this painting. Horsa had a short career, foundering in the north sea in october 1869. Object Type: painting. Date: 1869. Dimensions: height: 63 cm (24.8 in); width: 95 cm (37.4 in). Medium: oil on canvas.
