- Lot Description
Charles Delin (Dutch 1756-1818) Oil on Lined Canvas “Portrait of a Ship Captain”, depicted half-length, 3/4 profile wearing a brown jacket with brass buttons, white waistcoat and bon-knotted cravat with gold and seed pearl stickpin, two vessels visible in stormy seas beyond; in ebonized frame with gilt liner; Note: sparse in-painting and scattered stains
21 in. x 17 in. Framed 25.5 in. x 21.25 in.
This portrait was de-accessioned from the Historic Museum of New Jersey, identified as Captain John Brown of Nantucket. Starbuck’s “History of the American Whale Fishery” records a Capt. John Brown as master of the ship Cato in 1800, on a two-year voyage to Woolwich, returning with a full cargo of whale oil. Starbuck also records presumably the same Capt. John Brown as master of the ship Thomas in 1817, on a year and a half voyage to the Pacific, returning with 1,000 barrels of a sperm oil and 500 barrels of whale oil. Benes’ curriculum raisonné of Delin lists ten known portraits by the artist of Nantucket whaling captains; a strikingly similar portrait, of Captain Calsworth (ca. 1805-1810), is in the collection of the Nantucket Historical Association. This portrait is a heretofore unknown eleventh painting.
