Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: A smalschip leaving a harbour in a fresh breeze

A smalschip with sprit lowered and with no sails set, runs through a narrow gap in a low breakwater, past a small rowing boat with figures. Two ships are visible further out to sea. With its low horizon and rough sea, this compositional study is reminiscent of the harbour scenes of Jacob van Ruisdael.

The drawing is inscribed in the sky: ‘L’ to indicate the direction of light, and is signed in brown ink: ‘W V V J’.

[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.
