The experts at bruun rasmussen used the title kongeskibet udfor monte carlo (the royal yacht at monte carlo). They did not explain how they agreed on that title, which is a pity. The "royal yacht" would have to be the dannebrog, but the dannebrog in friis nybo's lifetime was a side wheeler with two funnels. The next dannebrog, built in 1932, looked somewhat like the vessel in the painting (excluding the stern), but the artist was of course dead by then. And a danish royal yacht would carry a dovetail version of the danish flag. So the uploader chose a more appropriate title. Object Type: painting. Date: between 1887 and 1929. Dimensions: height: 45 cm (17.7 in); width: 54 cm (21.2 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unknown. Poul Friis Nybo - En dansk lystyacht ved Monte Carlo
