| Description |
English: Dutch ship meeting five Danish ships A view of a fiord showing to the right a port quarter view of a Dutch ship running into the fijord; she is firing her forward guns, probably in salute. Beyond her, five Danish ships, including an admiral (? De anibal), a vice-admiral and a rear-admiral, all lying nearly head to wind. In the left background, several flutes; and beyond them, vessels appearing round a bemnd in the fiord. This is a pencil and wash drawing by the Elder, with part of a false signature of the Younger. It is inscribed ‘het oude geteickende gesicht van (cut, ‘?maet terlant’) is geteickent / a° 1629 soo wij na noorwege geordineert waren & 5 konings deensse schepen ons gemoeten’ (The view of … drawn long ago in the year 1629, when we were ordered to Norway and when five Danish king’s ships met us). In spite of the inscription it is thought that the drawing was made in 1653 or 1658 and probably shows an incident of this period and not 1629. The Danish ships are large and of later build than 1629. If the inscription below the admiral is correctly transcribed, this must refer to the ‘Hannibal’ built 1646 and the flagship of the six Danish ships which were met by the Dutch in the Sound in November 1658; she was renamed ‘Svanen’ in 1659. The Dutch also met the ‘Hannibal’ in 1653. |
