A Dutch fleet lying-by
In the middle distance there is a starboard-bow view of a ship with her main topsail filled on the port tack and her fore-topsail half-mast high and aback. In the far distance there is an admiral all aback in starboard-broadside view, and many other ships under easy sail.
The work is one of a group of nine drawings (PAD0704, PAD0705,
PAD0706, PAF6777, PAF6778, PAF6779, PAF6780, PAF6781, PAF6782) which, by subject and watermark, probably relate to de Ruyter's voyage to Bergen in autumn 1665.
