A Dutch flagship before the wind
A port broadside view of a ship with a flag at the mizzen before a light breeze with only her mizzen topsail, spritsail and fore and main topmast staysails set. Several boats and small vessels are alongside. In the background a ship is saluting.
It is inscribed on the back in a late hand ‘W Van der Velde 1677.’
This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Younger. It is possibly a faint drawing by the Elder with wash added by a later hand.
