Willem van de Velde en zijn zoons Willem en Adriaen 1646 - 1672

Adriaen van de Velde's "Willem van de Velde en zijn zoons Willem en Adriaen" is a pen and brown ink drawing depicting three men, likely members of the van de Velde family of Dutch artists, in a casual moment. The figure on horseback, Willem van de Velde the Elder, is being assisted by his sons, Willem and Adriaen. This intimate portrayal showcases the close bond between the artists. The drawing is a testament to Adriaen's skillful handling of light and shadow, evident in the depiction of the men's clothing and the horse. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
