Framed Print of English: A 17th century Whaling Scene Dutch whaling in the Arctic had started in the early 17th century
English: A 17th century Whaling Scene Dutch whaling in the Arctic had started in the early 17th century, driven by the economic aims of the Noordsche Compagnie, or North Company, part of the Dutch fleet.

The artist of this pen-painting on panel, whose signature might be read as T. or F. Boon, transferred both the technique of grisaille and the artistic motif of the whalers in Northern seas into the early 18th century. A number of three-masters anchor among the carcasses of the hunted whales, which float between the ships, while sailors in rowing boats prepare to strip the animals blubber.
