Description: | Signed: yes Description: The two boats, examples of the traditional gaff-rigged 'wijdschip' vessel, and the muted colours used to depict the scene, are typical of the Dutch painter Simon de Vlieger (about 1601-1653). The careful depiction of the boats reflects the artist's background as a draughtsman and designer. A group on men, one of whom is conspicuously well-dressed, stand on a jetty, while in the distance a man-of-war and other smaller boats can be seen on a calm sea. | Subjects: | figure; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vlieger, Simon de (Dutch painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1601-1653) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8567... | Go to resource |
