About the piece

Created in 1844 by artist Carl Dahl, this stunning oil on canvas depicts the frigate Thetis and the corvette Flora anchored on the Tagus River. The composition masterfully uses the warm, low light of the setting sun to create a serene yet dramatic atmosphere, highlighting the intricate rigging and silhouettes of the vessels against a glowing sky.
