Portrait of the ‘Wulpenburg’, viewed from the port beam. It is drawn from a point slightly above the sea level showing tow ships becalmed in the distance. It is apparently not an offset, but is rubbed on the back and presumably has had an offset taken from it.

This is a freely drawn but extremely accurate portrait of the same ‘Wulpenburg’ as the one drawn by the Elder (PAH3832). The Elder achieved such accuracy in later years, but the two drawings are on the same paper and seem to be of the same early ship of the name, not the ‘Wulpenburg’ of 1675. The delicate use of wash on the hull, the wash behind the ship to set it off and the addition of the two ships in the distance are typical of the Younger’s work at this period.

In the Boymans-Van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam, there is a drawing of the ship viewed from the starboard quarter, which is in reverse (289).
