About the piece
Created around 1690 by Ludolf Bakhuizen, a leading marine painter of the Dutch Golden Age, this work depicts the IJ waterway at Amsterdam. The composition features the frigate 'De Ploeg' alongside smaller craft, balanced by a lively foreground of elegantly dressed figures and sailors, all rendered beneath a dramatic, light-filled sky.
