Oorlogsschip met drie masten aan een pier 1675 - 1711

This anonymous etching, dated between 1675 and 1711, depicts a three-masted warship at a pier. The ship is shown in detail, with its sails billowing in the wind. Other smaller vessels can be seen in the background, while a large wooden pier is visible in the foreground. The composition, characterized by a calm seascape, reflects the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with maritime power. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling maritime activity of the period.
