Portrait of the ‘Royal Thérèse’ (?), 70 to 80-gun ship built as the ‘Paris’ in 1670, renamed in 1671 and condemned in 1690.
The ‘Royal Thérèse’ from before the beam on the starboard side but only from the waist aft, with the following ports visible abaft the gangway: seven on the gun deck, six on the upper deck, five on the quarterdeck and two on the poop. There are three oval-topped windows abaft the quarterdeck guns.
The offset is one from a group of four offsets of French ships (PAH9359, PAH3898, and PAH1825) and is lightly rubbed on the back. Van de Velde was making studies of the Anglo-French fleet in the early summer of 1673, while it was refitting after the first battle of Schooneveld.
