The description given by the experts at bruun rasmussen left a lot to be desired. Based on a label on the verso, they described it as the frigate betsy of copenhagen. Trouble is, that such a ship never existed. There was a brig, betzy of copenhagen, matching the label's description of ownership and masters, but a brig is not a frigate, and the painting does not match the characteristics of a two-masted ship. Petersen typically described the vessels he painted along the bottom edge, but here there is nothing. Object Type: painting. Date: between 1792 and 1855. Dimensions: height: 42 cm (16.5 in); width: 55 cm (21.6 in). Collection: Unknown. Jacob Petersen - Et dansk fregatskib
