This anonymous engraving depicts a scene from a Dutch expedition led by Willem Barentsz and Jan Huygen van Linschoten. The encounter took place in 1595. The ships are in a tumultuous sea with large waves crashing against their hulls, indicating the dangerous conditions faced by early European explorers. This small-scale print, measuring 105 mm by 145 mm, is a valuable historical document from the Rijksmuseum.
