After it was professionally cleaned and after the two areas had been restored it received a new varnish and is ready to hang for the next 150 years. This painting has not been "overrestored" - it still shows a good Patina, eg. there is craquelure and there are light age signs.

Portrait of an Polar Bear on an Ice Floe in the Arctic near Greenland, ca. 1860-70 - with another larger ice floe in the background - large and very detailled Silk and Wool Embroidery - 64 by 89 cm (25 by 35 inch) sight, with frame 74 x 99,5 cm (29 by 39 inch) - signed lower left "H. Koch" - good original condition and in the orginal frame, protected under glass - price (incl. s&h): EUR 1680 (convert to your currency)

Note: Heinrich Koch was a drawing and embroidery artist who lived and worked in Hamburg, Germany. Due to the immense work and time which was necessary for his embroidery pictures of extraordinary quality and size his Ouevre was quite small and we never noticed in the last 20 years any work by him which was available for sale. Greenland and the Arctic was in the 18th Century and in the first half of the 19th Century a popular hunting ground for Whaling Ships (which were often also hunting seal) from Germany and Denmark. It might be possible that this picture was made following this old tradition.

The Straits of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea was a preferred place where they were seeking merchant ships from Europe and America to enter and capture ship and crew. British Naval Ships from Gibraltar were on duty to chase the Pirates.
