A boeier towing two barges in a breeze
A weather quarter view of a boeier close-hauled on the port track, towing a boat and two barges filled with people. Beyond her is a Dutch ship at anchor, and on the right are two galjoots at anchor.
This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder, which has been approximately dated by the watermark. There is a similarity between this drawing and the passage on the right of a large drawing of the Dutch fleet in the ‘Vile in October, 1658’ (Scheepvaart Museum, Amsterdam).
