Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: A Dutch pink in a heavy sea

This line drawing shows a pink (a small, square-rigged vessel commonly used at the time for fishing) negotiating a heavy sea. Two other pinks and a larger ship at anchor feature in the distance. The efficiency with which the artist indicates the form and lilt of the oncoming vessel betrays that years of experience that the artist, by then in his seventies, had accrued.

The drawing is inscribed on the reverse, upper left: ‘W.V.V J 1705’.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
