in the distance / at a distance

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me your competent opinion concerning the following sentences?

1. “The ship was seen in the distance.”
2. “The picture looks better at a distance.”

in the distance = far away
at a distance = to a distance

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
