"Skeppsbild, gouache, Segelfartyg för ankar utanför en kust. Bilden inramad i en bonad träram med svarta kvadrater i hörnen. Under bilden texten SKEPPET FORTUNA FRÅN GÖTHEBORG COMMENDERAD AF MATHIAS RUMPF. Sign. Felice Polle (?) in Trieste."
Felice Polli var ansvarig skeppskonstruktör i Trieste, Italien, och en aktiv akvarellkonstnär mellan cirka 1815 till 1840.
Utdrag ur Buchholz, K. (1997). Ship portrait artists, Hamburg: Buchholz Art Information Systems:
"The main profession of Polli was director of Naval Construction in Trisete, but he was from c. 1815 until 1840 also active as an artist and produces a number of fine watercolours. His medium size pictures show the sailing vessel usually in two positions under full sail at sea or off Trisete harbour.
The depicted ship is very accurately drawn with all details and in an impressive view. Usually we will find as well a written lining along the bottom, mentioning the ship's and captain's name."
