Scheveningen Pincks off the Coast of Yarmouth is an oil painting by the English artist Edward William Cooke, from 1864.[1][2]
Description
A seascape, it depicts Dutch fishing boats (known as pincks) blown away from their home port of Scheveningen by fierce easterly gales and compelled to seek shelter by heading for Great Yarmouth on the coast of Norfolk. Cooke was a protégé of Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, an established painter of maritime scenes.[3] Cooke was known for frequently featuring Dutch scenes in his output. It was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1864 at the National Gallery. When he was elected to membership of the Royal Academy of Arts, Cooke presented this as his diploma work.[4]
