"Ship Portrait of the Danish Schooner Willemoes of Thurø" is a maritime painting by Reuben Chappell (1870–1940), a British pierhead painter known for his ship portraits. The work depicts the Danish schooner "Willemoes," hailing from the small island of Thurø, Denmark. Chappell's paintings are characterized by their attention to the details of the vessels he portrayed, often commissioned by shipmasters and owners who desired a memento of their ships.

Reuben Chappell was part of a tradition of self-taught maritime artists who specialized in ship portraits, a genre that flourished in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These artists would often work at ports and harbors, capturing the likeness of merchant ships and vessels as they arrived or departed. Chappell's work is notable for its accuracy and the inclusion of background details that provide context to the ship's environment.

The "Willemoes of Thurø" is an example of Chappell's dedication to his craft, showcasing the schooner with precise rigging and hull details, set against a seascape that reflects the maritime setting. The painting not only serves as a historical record of the vessel but also as an artifact of the maritime culture of the period.

As a pierhead painter, Chappell's works are considered important to the study of maritime history and folk art, offering insights into the shipping industry and the aesthetic preferences of the time. The "Ship Portrait of the Danish Schooner Willemoes of Thurø" remains a testament to Chappell's skill in capturing the essence of maritime life and the vessels that were an integral part of it.
