Follower of Willem van de Velde the Younger (Leiden 1633-1707 Greenwich)

A Royal arrival at Sheerness
bears indistinct signature (on floating spar lower right)
oil on canvas
57.4 x 121.6cm (22 5/8 x 47 7/8in).

Footnotes

This work shows a royal yacht arriving off Sheerness and receiving salutes from the flagship at anchor as well as a shore battery. It may simply be recording a routine dockyard visit, but more likely depicts the safe return of either King George I or his son George II from one of their frequent visits to Hanover, the German state which George I continued to regard as his 'home' despite succeeding to the English throne following the death of Queen Anne in 1714.
