Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Gerrit Groenewegen' after own design. Gerrit Groenewegen (1754-1826) was destined to become a ships'carpenter. When he lost a leg in an accident on the wharfe, he became a pupil of the Rotterdam based artist/engraver Robbert Muijs. Groenewegen's talent for drawing combined with his profound knowledge of ships produced high quality marine art.
