Español: Johan de Liefde, vicealmirante, por Bartholomeus van der Helst

Un hombre de pie, vestido de terciopelo negro con un gran cuello de encaje blanco, una banda dorada y una medalla, sostiene un bastón cruzado frente a cortinas rojas. Detrás, una batalla naval avanza bajo una densa nube gris de humo, con barcos de vela sobre el agua.
