Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: Kaags beating to windward in a breeze

This relatively simple compositional sketch achieves greater dynamism from the crossing paths of the three kaags (small Dutch sailing vessels) as they tack to and fro across the page on a choppy sea. Meanwhile, the well-judged addition of grey wash brings an impression of depth to the sea, sails and sky. This may have been made, or was subsequently used, as an instructional example in Van de Velde’s studio: see PAE5347 for what is probably a contemporary copy of the drawing.

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.
