Description: | W.V.V.J.
The ?Zeven Provincien? viewed from the starboard quarter. On the tafferel are the arms of the United Provinces, on a crowned shield, surrounded by the arms of the seven provinces, all of which are supported by two lions. Above this is what may be a female figure and the date written in ink ?anno 1665?.
This drawing by the Younger is signed in brown ink, ?W.V.VJ?. It is a rapid sketch in pencil strengthened with loose pen work. It has been dated by the watermark, but Robinson believes it to possibly be a year later when the ship was first commissioned.
Box Title: D40. M504-524.
