A ship in a quartering breeze viewed from before the port beam under fore and main topsails and mizzen, and fore course in the brails. It is wearing a striped ensign.

One of seven drawings freely but accurately done. The group is approximately dated by the subjects and signatures, but by the style and papers they might be later. The van de Veldes clearly found a sale for their Dutch scenes even during the war with Holland, so that drawings cannot be assigned to the Dutch or English periods by the subject alone. Other drawings on the same paper may be as late as 1700.
