Studies of wind and sun in a heavy sea

Studies of wind and sun in a heavy sea. Six small studies on one sheet of a ship in a very heavy sea with the directions of the sun (‘son’) and the wind (‘wint’) indicated in each case.

It is approximately dated by the style and watermark. Most of Van de Velde’s lessons in drawing date from the last few years of his life, when it seems likely that he had copyists such as J. van der Hagen and Cornelis van de Velde working in his studio.
