W.V.V.J.
A distant view of a group of vessels with most viewed from the port-broadside with their fore and main yards a-cockbill. In the centre the admiral flies a flag at the main and a pendant at the mizzen, with a rear-admiral on his starboard bow and a vice-admiral astern, There is a boeier before the wind in starboard-bow view in the left foreground, with another craft in port-bow view and close-hauled on the starboard tack in the centre middle-distance.
The two boeiers have been strengthened in pen, possibly by a later hand and Robinson suggested the signature ?W.V.V.J.? may not be authentic.
Box Title: Van de Velde, Ingram No 5, 888-948.
