12. A View on the Maes, near the town of Dort, represented
under the aspect of a fine summer’s morning, and during
the rendezvous of numerous vessels on some public occasion
(supposed to be that of the embarkation of Prince Maurice
for the purpose of inspecting the Dutch sseet). The com-
position exhibits, on the right, a large passage boat, thronged
with passengers, in full sail, slowly approaching the front.
On the opposite side is a ten-oared boat, in which are Prince
Maurice, and other persons of distinction, accompanied by
three trumpeters in their rich liveries, who stand at the head
of the boat sounding their instruments, which is answered by
salutes from the fort, and also from several of the ships.
Two other boats, filled with people, are also near; and beyond
these are numerous vessels of various descriptions, ranged in
front of the town, and extending along the whole line of coast
to the opposite side of the river, where the view is bounded
by a hill of unbroken form, rendered barely visible by the
glowing rays of the sun, mingled with the dews of the
morning. Engraved by J. Fittler; and, No. 37, in the
Stafford Gallery.
