Description

Entrance depicts a busy port in the Netherlands during the mid 17th century. The work is filled with details that would have been well known to Van de Velde (himself the son of a famous draftsman), such as a wooden breakwater and multiple types of ships. For the viewing audience, the painting evokes thoughts of a sunny, clear day in port with ships that have come safely home.^[3]
