The cruiser MS De Ruyter was put into service in the Netherlands in 1953.
In 1973 taken over by Peru and served there as flagship of the fleet under the name Almirante Grau. (explanation of the difference in title front and back of the work)
The Almirante Grau underwent major maintenance between 1985 and 1988, which was carried out at a shipyard in Amsterdam.
There the artist created several works of the cruiser, including this one of the rudder and the propellers in an almost abstract manner.
