This rocky coast may correspond to modern Latvia, which in the 17th century was ruled by the Duke of Courland. The Latvian flag, with a two-headed, flies over the castle in the background. The boats with Dutch, Swedish and Danish ensigns and the scenes of shipping allude to the flourishing Baltic trade.
