Portrait of the Essex, 60 guns. She was built in 1653 and taken by the Dutch in 1666. She is viewed from slightly before the starboard beam. The fore course, mizzen, topsails and clewed mainsail are lightly sketched in pencil.
The drawing has been rubbed on the back. It is probably based on an offset and has been rapidly and untidily worked up with pencil and wash and later strengthened by a few touches of pen and brown ink round the ports. It was probably drawn as the ship was leaving the Dutch coast with the Restoration squadron.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait of the 'Essex' captures the essence of 17th-century naval power with its intricate detail and historical significance. Painted by Willem van de Velde, the Elder, a renowned Flemish artist, this graphite and grey wash drawing showcases the majestic 60-gun ship in all its glory.
The 'Essex', built in 1653 and later captured by the Dutch in 1666, is depicted from a unique angle slightly before the starboard beam. The meticulous pencil sketches of the fore course, mizzen, topsails, and clewed mainsail give viewers a glimpse into life on board such a formidable vessel.
Despite some wear and tear over time, this piece has been expertly preserved at the National Maritime Museum in London. The rapid yet skillful execution of pencil and wash techniques combined with touches of pen and brown ink make this artwork truly stand out as a masterpiece of maritime art.
As you gaze upon this historic depiction of naval warfare during the Restoration era, you can almost hear the sounds of cannons firing and waves crashing against wooden hulls. A true testament to both artistic talent and nautical history, this portrait is sure to captivate anyone with an appreciation for seafaring adventures from centuries past.
