Summary

[edit]
Author
Van de Velde?, Willem, the Younger (artist)
Description
English: A kaag ashore with ships at anchor in the distance

A compositional study of a shoreline at low tide, created with successive layers of wash. In the middle-distance is a starboard view of a kaag on a mudbank, with a lone figure approaching on foot from the left. Four ships lie at anchor in the distance.

This drawing may be a contemporary copy, or even a later imitation of a work by Willem Van de Velde, the Younger. It is inscribed at a later date, or with a false signature: ‘W.V.V.’.

[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.
