"Boat from the Port of San Francisco," a notable artwork by Ludwig (Louis) Choris, is a distinguished piece from his larger work, "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde." Ludwig Choris (1795-1828) was a German-Russian painter and explorer known for his vivid portrayals of landscapes, peoples, and scenes from his travels around the world. "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde," published in the early 19th century, is a comprehensive collection of illustrations and descriptions documenting Choris's journey aboard the Rurik from 1815 to 1818, under the command of Otto von Kotzebue. This expedition aimed to explore the Pacific Ocean and its islands, with a significant focus on ethnography and natural history.

The artwork "Boat from the Port of San Francisco" captures a moment in time during Choris's visit to the San Francisco Bay area, offering invaluable insight into the maritime culture and landscape of early 19th-century California, then a part of Spanish America. This piece stands out for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the essence of the port's environment and the design of the local boats, reflecting Choris's skill in ethnographic and landscape art. The work is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, providing a visual record of San Francisco's port and its surroundings before the major transformations brought about by the Gold Rush and subsequent urban development.

Choris's contributions to "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde," including "Boat from the Port of San Francisco," are of great value to historians, anthropologists, and art historians, offering a rare glimpse into the cultural and natural landscapes of the early 19th century. His work remains a testament to the importance of art in the exploration and documentation of the world's diverse cultures and environments.
