A beached pilot whale near Zandvoort on 21 November, 1594
Workshop of Hendrick Goltzius Netherlandish
Not on view
This beached creature, though much smaller than the others displayed on this wall, nevertheless attracted a large crowd that is depicted here winding in from the distance along the Dutch dunes. Pilot whales are among the largest oceanic dolphins. Two men use a rope to measure it from head to tail.
