Provenance |
Oil on canvas painting of a Danish ship sailing in the ocean. It is housed in a wood frame and has the artist's mark "M.C.C. '12". The painting was found in the attic of Mary Christiansen Debel in Blair, Nebraska. It is possible that this individual is the artist of the painting. Mary and her husband Chris had no children. The painting was accessioned on canvas and the frame was added by Annette Andersen of Andersen Framing in Kimballton, Iowa for an exhibition at the museum in 2008.
