A view from slightly before the starboard beam of the English 46-gun ship Tiger (1647), which was built in 1647 as a 44-gun fourth rate, then rebuilt in 1681 and again in 1702. The drawing concentrates on detailing the design of the vessel, showing wreathed ports above and two sweep-ports between each port on the gun deck, but also shows the decks crowded with figures. It is probably an offset, well worked up.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait of the 'Tiger' captures the essence of naval power and grandeur in the 17th century. Painted by Willem van de Velde, the Elder, this graphite and grey wash masterpiece showcases the English 46-gun ship in all its glory.
The intricate detailing of the vessel's design, with wreathed ports and crowded decks filled with figures, transports us back to a time when maritime exploration and warfare were at their peak. The 'Tiger', originally built as a 44-gun fourth rate in 1647, underwent multiple rebuilds over the years before being immortalized in this artwork from around 1681.
Van de Velde's skillful hand brings out every nuance of the ship's structure, making it seem almost lifelike on paper. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, drawing viewers into a world where ships ruled the seas.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this piece is not just a work of art but also a historical document that sheds light on naval architecture and craftsmanship of centuries past. It serves as a reminder of England's rich maritime heritage and its enduring legacy on global waters.
