Pink 1609 - 1686

"Pink" is a pen and ink drawing by Dirk Eversen Lons, a Dutch artist who lived from 1600 to 1686. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a small sailing vessel known as a "pink", which was often used for fishing. The drawing's inscription describes the vessel's use for catching fish and other seafood. The drawing's simple, detailed style is typical of Dutch maritime art of the period.
