A galjoot and Dutch ships in a strong breeze

In the left middle distance is a galjoot running into the Texel with a ship beyond scudding under the fore course. On the right is a ship reaching out on the starboard tack under reefed courses.

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder. This work, according to Robinson, appears to have been worked on by a later hand in pencil and wash.
