Woodcut depicting a side view of a high-prow boat, with a bearded man, his hair being blown in opposing directions, rowing it. The rendering of the water following the oar give the impression that he is rowing through a highly viscous medium. Clipped from the 1541 book "De Re Navali", about Roman and Greek vessels of antiquity. Latin text on verso.
