Description
English: Studies of fishermen and craft, Portsmouth, 1813

No. 20 of 30 (PAH3772 - PAH3801)

Schetky urged his students to draw everything and to annotate their drawings ‘No doubt you are sketching every day. Now I advise you to make minute studies of every kind of boat …, and draw the inside of them as well as sheer and shape – ay, the inside, with all the gear you see in them – nets, crab pots, spars, casks, sails, and everything, most carefully, marking the colours of each, and depend upon it you will find the good of it hereafter.’ In this study of two coastal merchant vessels Schetky is seen to be following his own advice as in the drawing of the Nile he shows the inside of the vessel.

The drawing is inscribed in the centre of the sheet above the upper craft 'Mary of Gt. Yarmouth april 30th 1813 Portsmouth Harbour' and above the lower craft 'Nile of Margate april 30 1813'.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
