Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: An English two-decker in light airs

Viewed from slightly before the port beam, a ship before a very light breeze with her main topsail and topgallant filled, but her fore yards braced round without any wind in the sails.

This is a pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, with the false signature ‘W V V’.

Licensing

[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.
