Willem Van de Velde, the Younger |
| Description |
English: Head of a States yacht This is one of a group of five drawings in the NMM’s collection of details of Dutch yachts drawn rapidly in pen and ink over preliminary graphite. Their style and subject suggest they belong to the period of van de Velde’s visit to Holland in 1685-6. The drawing, which is unsigned, depicts the stem and head probably of a States yacht. The figurehead is a seahorse (hippocampus) supporting a small shield bearing the arms of Zeeland. Behind the horse, with back resting against the stem, there is a small sea-god blowing a conch. |
