About the piece

Created in 1713 by L. de Man, this refined oil painting captures the quiet majesty of maritime life in the 18th century. The scene features a royal yacht, potentially the 'Mary', surrounded by other sailing ships on a calm sea, with figures visible on a near shore and distant vessels firing salutes. The soft, atmospheric light and sophisticated color palette create a sense of timeless elegance.
