This intricate model, crafted between 1837 and 1842 by Cornelis over de Linden, depicts a 44-gun frigate undergoing a careening process. The meticulously detailed ship, with its three masts and intricate rigging, rests on a wooden platform that simulates a wharf. The green water surface and the wooden supports for the careening process, cleverly integrated into the model, enhance the realism. The model showcases the artist's skill in capturing the intricacies of shipbuilding and maritime practices, providing viewers with a glimpse into the 19th-century nautical world.
