About the piece

Attributed to Adriaen van der Cabel, this expansive maritime painting depicts the vibrant activity of a busy harbor around 1700. Large merchant vessels with billowing sails and national flags dominate the water, while dockworkers and merchants gather on the foreground quay near a massive wooden crane, all beneath a towering, atmospheric sky.
