Label copy

This etching depicts the burgeoning Dutch fleet on the Roowaensche Quay in Amsterdam. Known for his precise representations of maritime scenes and ships, Nooms went by Zeeman (seaman) in homage to his previous work as sailor, a profession that took him all around the world as the Dutch commercial empire expanded.
