About the piece
Painted in 1673 by Willem van de Velde the Younger, this work showcases the artist's unparalleled skill in maritime atmosphere. A decorated Dutch States yacht dominates the foreground, its sails billowing as it maneuvers through a restless sea toward a cluster of larger vessels under a dramatic, cloud-heavy sky.
