EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Willem van de Velde the Younger. This masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent as a Dutch marine painter and his ability to accurately depict naval ships. Van de Velde immigrated to England with his father in 1674 and both were employed in the service of King Charles II.
