Episode from the Battle of the Sound between Dutch and Swedish Fleets, 1658
A grey-brown wash drawing shows a hazy naval engagement on open water beneath a pale, empty sky. Large sailing warships with furled and billowing sails crowd the left, with gun smoke drifting among them, while smaller vessels recede into the mist toward the right.
