Views of Dutch Vessels – Maritime Engraving after 1684 Drawing, Published 1802
Description:
This finely executed engraving, published in 1802, depicts a pair of Dutch vessels at sea, based on an original drawing from 1684. The ships are portrayed moored side by side, their sails furled and draped over spars, giving a calm and quiet impression of maritime life during the Dutch Golden Age.
The boats shown are small, working vessels typical of 17th-century Dutch coastal or inland waters. Their bluff bows, high sides, and heavy hulls reflect practical construction used in the fishing or cargo trade. The prominent vertical masts and rigging remain in place, adding a sense of scale and nautical character. The scene is atmospheric, with sweeping clouds and a rippling sea rendered in subtle tones.
At lower left is the name of the draughtsman: "Van der Meulen delt." (delin.), referring to the original artist, likely inspired by the school of Dutch marine painters or possibly based on the work of Adam Frans van der Meulen or a namesake. Engraved by "Heath sculp." at lower right, indicating the plate was cut by James Heath, one of the most respected British engravers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The caption below reads: "Views of Dutch Vessels. 1684."
The plate was published by Cadell & Davies in London on March 1st, 1802, as part of a broader effort to document and reproduce notable works from earlier centuries in high-quality engravings.
This print offers both artistic and historical interest and is well-suited for collectors of Dutch maritime art, naval history enthusiasts, or decorative display in coastal interiors.
