The Dutch fleet lying-to: a council-of-war

This is a very distant view of the Dutch fleet. In the centre is the commander-in-chief, identified by the striped jack, and an admiral with a pendant at the mizzen on his lee quarter (identified by a striped jack and ensign).

This is a very faint unsigned offset, which has not been rubbed on the back. It has been approximately dated by the subject.
