Eertvelt was a marine painter. He is seen here in portrait from the waist up. He is turned to the proper left with his head turned, facing almost front. Behind him is a scene of the ocean with a ship and voluptuous clouds. This is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), 1632-44.
The man and woman with their children stand outside a spirit's store. They look at one another as the man slides a bottle into his coat pocket.
A figure falls back against the side of a bed with his hand across his chest. He looks up to a figure laying on the bed.
Outdoor scene of ladies and gentlemen dancing with a fight between two men on the left and a band playing on a stage behind. In the lower left corner, a man (Logic?) knocks another to the ground.
