Quarter figure of the ?Zeven Provincen?, 1665. The drawing shows a whole-length figure of a bearded sea-god with the left foot raised on a dolphin and holding with the right hand a round-bladed paddle. Below is a figure pouring water from a jar. It is inscribed ?d seffe provensie?.
A rapid sketch in pencil strengthened with loose pen-work. It is dated by the watermark, but was possibly made a year later when the ship was first commissioned.
