Willem van de Velde I, a Dutch Golden Age master of marine art, created this detailed pen and ink drawing, "Dutch Men of War at Anchor", circa 1625-1693. The meticulous detail of the ships' rigging and the calm water, along with the dynamic composition, exemplifies van de Velde's mastery of capturing the grandeur and power of the Dutch navy. The drawing, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the maritime might of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age.
