Captured Ships Entering the Goeree Gat, 1666
A calm sea under a broad sky of cumulus clouds, with several sailing warships in open water. A large vessel with billowing white sails and red-and-white flags dominates the left foreground, while smaller ships spread across the middle distance, one on the right emitting a puff of gunsmoke.
