Description: According to the Hollstein this and some other ten plates are to be ascribed to copyists of Zeeman. This plate in particular has a Lorrainesque appeal, with the theatrical foreground beyond which is the scene in the open sea. Especially the arch on the right gives to the plate a scenographic look. Signed and addressed at the bottom: 'Seeman fecit / Drevet Avec privilege'. Etching on paper trimmed within margin; total: 124 x 229 mm, state II/2, traces of previous mounting on the four corners on the verso, somewhat yellowed paper; Hollstein 156, Bartsch 159.
