Description: Winner receives an original signed oil on canvas painting by well listed Dutch-American artist Mauritz Frederick Hendrick De Haas (1832-1895). The painting is titled "Sunken Ship" and is signed in the lower right corner, seen magnified in picture 6. We can guarantee the authenticity of this painting 100% or your money back as it has impeccable provenance. The painting is coming for sale from the Estate Of Danny Wiginton, Huntsville, IL. Wiginton had purchased the painting from R.H. Love Galleries in Chicago, IL. The original gallery label is still affixed to the verso, seen magnified in picture 11. The painting is in very good overall condition with no rips, tears, or repairs. There are a few areas of in-painting in the horizon and the upper left corner, not visible in normal lighting but found when examined with ultra violet light. Pictures of the touch-ups under ultra violet lighting can be seen in pictures 8 & 9. There is light craquelure consistent with age and light surface grime, but the painting displays nicely. The original ornate gold gilt gallery frame is in good overall condition with a few areas of touch up, including some minor chips and losses to the decoration and minor losses at the corners. Picture 7 is a magnified section of the upper left corner of the frame where some of the losses can be seen. The piece would benefit from some minor touch ups but is ready for hanging as-is. The frame measures roughly 26.5" x 20.5", with the image measuring roughly 18" x 12". Below is some information about the artist, whose auction results include sales up to $78,000.

Mauritz Frederick Hendrick de Haas (1832-1895) was a Dutch-American marine painter. His name has been written as Mauritz Frederik de Haas, Maurice F. H. de Haas, Maurice Frederic Henri de Haas, Mauritz Frederick Hendrick De Haas, Maurice Frederick Hendrick de Haas, as well as various other variations. De Haas was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He studied art at the Rotterdam Academy and at The Hague under Johannes Bosboom and Louis Meyer. He further studied in London, 1851-1852, following the English watercolorists of the day. In 1857 he received an artist’s commission in the Dutch Navy, but in 1859, under the patronage of August Belmont, who had recently been Minister of the United States at The Hague, de Haas resigned and moved to New York City. An associate of the National Academy in 1863, de Haas became an academician in 1867. He exhibited annually in the academy, and in 1866 was a founder of the American Society of Painters in Water Colors. He died in New York City. His “Farragut Passing the Forts at the Battle of New Orleans” and “The Rapids above Niagara,” which were exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1878, were best known but were not his most typical works. De Haas’ preferred subjects were storms and wrecks, wind and heavy surf and less often, moonlight on the coasts of Holland, Jersey, New England, Long Island, the English Channel and the coasts of Grand Manan island in the Bay of Fundy.
