DescriptionBarque Dioscuren Arrives at Hong Kong, 1885, by Lai Sung.jpg |
English: Barque Dioscuren arrives at Hong Kong, (China Trade Painting Ship Portrait), by Lai Sung, Chinese (fl.1850-1888). A dynamic ship portrait, with the rare plus that the original canvas has an identifying stencil stamp on the back belonging to the Chinese artist Lai Sung, who performed this skilled commission. The German-built barque crossed paths with the artist in Hong Kong, a few years after its 1864 launching from the yard P. Dircks in Blankenese (Hamburg). She was owned by a consortium, which included American partners, headed by Ole Lindo. DIOSCUREN sailed internationally, making port in Hong Kong after the Tea Trade was well established, but showing irregularly timed stops in Hamburg, New York, Melbourne, and San Francisco in the 1860s. The wood barque weighed 298 tons, measuring 125.9' L x 26.5'B x 11.1'D. |
