L (light)
In the centre foreground is a ship lifting to a swell in the aftermath of what appears to have been a severe storm during which the main topmast and mizzen mast were carried away. The moment depicted in this drawing ? the return of calm and, with it, relative safety, after a perilous storm ? is unusual, falling in between the two extremes of turmoil and tranquillity that more frequently provided the artist?s subjects.
Box Title: Van de Velde, Ingram No 13, 1351-1365.
