The Flemish coast with eight Dutch ships lying at anchor near Dunkirk, ca. 1605. Right: Grevelingen, in the distance several Flemish villages. Bottom right: a cartouche with legend a-k for details in and around the city, in Dutch. According to Muller, this depicts the victory achieved over the Dunkirk admiral Adriaan Dirkszoon by the Rotterdam ship captain known as Mooi Lambert, December 1605.
