Est: €800 - €1,200
Der Salut zur Verabschiedung des Prinzen von Preußen aus Sankt Petersburg im Jahre 1842. Aquarell auf Velin, alt auf Albumblatt aufgezogen. 25,1 x 37 cm. Rechts oben auf dem Albumblatt mit Bleistift bezeichnet "An idea of H.M. of Prussia leaving Petersburgh". Wohl Juli 1842. Der schottische Maler John Christian Schetky wurde 1778 in Edinburgh als Sohn des Musikers Georg Christoph Schetky in die ursprünglich aus Herrmannstadt in Transylvanien stammende Familie geboren. Er war Schüler des schottischen Landschaftsmalers Alexander Nasmyth und zeitlebens eng mit dem Schriftsteller Sir Walter Scott befreundet. Von George IV. wurde er zum königlichen Marinemaler ernannt. Im Jahre 1842 begleitete er den Politiker und Vize-Admiral Charles Philip Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, auf einer Reise nach Deutschland und Russland anlässlich der Silberhochzeit Zar Niklaus' und Zarin Charlotte, der Schwester des Königs von Preußen. Auf dieser Reise machten sie im Juni und Juli 1842 auf der Hin- und Rückreise Station in Hamburg und Berlin, bevor sie mit König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. von Preußen zum Staatsbesuch nach St. Petersburg aufbrachen (vgl. hierzu Lady Biddulph of Ledbury, Charles Philip Yorke. A Memoir, London 1910, S. 167ff). In den Memoiren von Admiral Yorke wird auch erwähnt, dass Schetky ein Gemälde plane, dass die Abfahrt des preußischen Königs darstelle, wie es auf dem vorliegenden Aquarell vorbereitet und dargestellt ist (ebd. S. 173). - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Der britische Marinemaler John Christian Schetky war auf seiner Reise von Großbritannien über Hamburg, Berlin, und Danzig nach St. Petersburg von dem ungewöhnlichen Gebäude und dem regen Treiben um den Kontor so inspiriert, dass er am 12. und 13. Juli 1842 mehrere Aquarelle davon erstellte. - Beigegeben: ein weiteres Aquarell des Künstlers mit einer Darstellung des Baumhauses im Hamburger Hafen. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

John Christian Schetky (British, 1778-1874) 'Launching Day': a Royal Navy frigate ready for launching at Pembroke Dock indistictly insribed in pencil (verso) watercolour with traces of pencil 24.5 x 36cm (9 5/8 x 14 1/8in). Footnotes The first ships built at Pembroke Dock for the Royal Navy were a pair of 20-gun frigates launched in 1816. Such was their success that more orders soon followed and many vessels, large and small, were subsequently built there throughout the whole of the nineteenth century. However, the absence of many of the usual ship-building facilities in this view suggests that this scene took place in the early years of the dockyard's existence. We are grateful too Michael Naxton for his assistance with cataloguing this lot.
