Code: 10145

Dimensions:

W: 53cm (20.9")H: 47cm (18.5")



Very interesting artwork by William Cockell, it is unusually an oil on velvet painting. The painting is of the SS Dorset which was a New Zealand troop carrier in WW1, ship was owned by the New Zealand Shipping Company.

It is painted through the persepective of either a telescope or Periscope, a very atmospheric painting. I have two of these paintings and the only other one that is known of is held in the New Zealand Maritime Museum, item number 2003:6.
