Portrait of a young man with long hair in a red sash and lace-trimmed coat, beside a dog, with a ship and stormy sky behind him.

Engel de Ruyter (1649-83), Vice-Admiral

A young man with long brown hair stands before a dark stone column and a ship at sea, wearing a red sash over an ornate white lace-trimmed coat. He rests one hand on a dark rail, and a white dog with a spotted head and a chain collar sits at his side.
