Portrait of a (fantasized?) English ship with Justitia on the transom

Portrait of a (fantasised?) English ship with Justitia on the stern. That this is a counterproof is evident, among other things, from the fact that the letters R and C and the coat of arms of England, the Stuart Royal Standard, are in mirror image. The letters must therefore be read as CR (Carolus Rex). It cannot be ruled out that this is a fantasy ship. The drawing shows great similarities to two other worked-up counterproofs of the old Van de Velde in Rotterdam, one of which bears the inscription: chasing ships by Van de Velde / according to own fantasies ordered / & painted. The English fantasy ships in Rotterdam, like the drawing in the Rijksprentenkabinet, have a sculpture of Lady Justice, recognizable by sword and scales, on the stern. There are more counterproofs of English ships that were probably conceived by Van de Velde himself.
