This vignette, created by the Monogrammist P sometime between 1800 and 1878, depicts a Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship sailing on the open sea. The ship is framed by a heraldic shield, with two figures on either side. The figure on the left holds a compass, while the figure on the right appears to be holding a rope. This small-scale print, measuring 102 mm by 134 mm, is a testament to the Dutch Republic's maritime power during the Golden Age, when the VOC dominated global trade routes.
