Four Vessels Running Before a Gale
Pieter Mulier the Elder1630
Hallwyl Museum
Stockholm, Sweden
This painting is probably an early work of Pieter Mulier. It can probably be dated to around 1630, on the strength of comparisions with Jan Porcelli´s and Claes Claesz Wou´s paintings “Ships in Storm on a Rocky Coast” and “Three Vessels in a Storm”, both in the collection of Hallwyl Museum. The painting is signed PM on the fore-ground.
