Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: Sketch designs for the fore part of a yacht to be built for the Van de Veldes

On the left is a starboard bow showing two small gun-ports which do not appear in the other designs. Above, the stem, starboard side, showing a small lion figurehead on top of the stem. On the right, thee port bow with two bolts in the stem-head indicated ‘boute’.

Inscribed on the waterline which is redrawn in ink a little higher than a pencilled waterline ‘bij veranderingh, als de vaertuije voor te Leegh sign’ (an alteration if the vessel is too light forward).

Two more drawings for this yacht are in the Scheepvaart Museum, Amsterdam. One showing the stern with Van de Velde’s arms, the other is a sheer sketch plan.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger, with pen and brown ink over preliminary work in pencil. PAF6562, PAF6563, PAF6569-PAF6574, PAH1852, PAH1853 show other designs for details of this yacht. So far as is known the yacht was never built.

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.
