W.V.V.J. 1705
Four ships struggle in a stormy sea in this dramatic pen and wash drawing, made towards the end of the artist?s life. The most visible vessel, to the left of centre, is lifted by a wave as it lies-to having lost its mainmast. A few marks on the foremast indicate the ship?s crew as they furl the sail in an effort to avoid further damage.
The drawing is inscribed in the lower left: ?W.V.V J 1705?.
Box Title: Van de Velde, Ingram No 10, 1429-1439.
