Hoys in a sunny haze. The sun is shining through a haze from the left of the drawing. On the right is a weather quarter view of a hoy close-hauled on the port tack; a boat under her stern. On the left is another hoy, lee bow view on the starboard tack.

This drawing is compositional in character, very freely sketched and with the sky lightly hatched. It is very approximately dated by the style.
