Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: A flagship becalmed firing a salute

To the right in this compositional drawing is a starboard quarter view of a ship with a flag at the main and sails loosed. The ship fires a salute to port as a small boat pulls away towards the left. Several other vessels are visible in the background.

Inscribed in ink: ‘W.V.V.J’ (possibly a later addition or false signature). An old mount carried the inscription: ‘Acheté à Paris dans une vente le 6 mai 1909’.

[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.
