Portrait of a States yacht
This work shows a States yacht, depicted from the starboard quarter. On the tafferel is an oval shield positioned between arms and trophies below two large flowers. There are several full-length figures with a lion and a dolphin below, on the quarters. On the rail above are the Arms of Amsterdam (identified by the triple-X motif). They are supported by two large lions, one on either side.
