by Abrakham Spork, 1700
(Het Scheepvaartmuseum)

Edwin aka "Ramp Jaar" kindly shared with me by a nice painting by Abrakham Storck. It's presenting a 'Spiegelgevecht' (a practice fight) of Dutch fleet on 1 Sept 1697 on river Y, organized in the honor of Tzar Peter the Great. You can see his boat in the left corner of the paint. Small boat with red sail also has a yellow-red-blue standard with Russian double-headed 'state' eagle.
