Dutch ships beating to windward in a strong breeze
This drawing is typical of van de Velde’s late drawings which are often on a small scale and very rapidly drawn. Boldly applied washes, particularly in the sky, suggests the dramatic effect of sunlight and shadow. The purpose of the drawing may be compositional, or possibly for instructing members of van de Velde’s studio. The drawing is unsigned.
