This etching by Noach van der (II) Meer, dated 1781-1782, depicts two medals commemorating the victory of the Dutch frigate "Den Briel" over the British ship "Crescent." The top medal displays the ship in a naval battle, while the bottom medal features a coat of arms and a trident, symbolizing the strength of the Dutch navy. This artwork is a testament to the maritime history of the Netherlands and the achievements of Captain Gerardus Oorthuys. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
