"The frigate 'Sjelland'" is a maritime painting by the Greek artist Ioannis Altamouras (1852-1878). The artwork features a large frigate with sails billowing in the wind, sailing through calm waters. The frigate is the Danish ship 'Sjelland' (Zealand), which is identified by the Danish flag flying from the main mast. The painting captures the ship in its full glory, showcasing its impressive size and detail, which was a common theme in Altamouras' work. The maritime theme is reminiscent of the works of other marine painters like Willem van de Velde the Younger. The background depicts a cloudy sky and distant coastline, adding depth to the scene.
