Ship portrait "Artelt"

Unfortunately, there are also gaps in the tradition of this ship portrait.

It depicts an unnamed, rigged three-masted sailing ship. A pier with a red pier light can be seen on the right-hand edge of the picture. Is this possibly the harbour entrance to Swinemünde (Świnoujście/Poland)? A steamship in the background on the left.

The picture is signed "F. Artelt" at the bottom right. There is evidence that a marine painter of this name was active around 1930.
