Dort Boats (Dordrecht, Holland)
David Cox the Elder 1783 - 1859
Summary
A marine scene showing a central group of sailing boats upon a choppy sea. A rowing boat, laden with figures, has departed from the main group and approaches a piece of land, on the left, jutting out into the sea. The skyline of Dordrecht town can be seen in the background, in particular a group of windmills to the right.
