A study in perspective: two Dutch yachts at anchor

In the middle distance, a port bow view of a yacht with her mast stepped but without rigging or sails. In the centre, another yacht with her peak dropped. Part of a ship showing on the right. There are three figures on the shore in the foreground.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger in pen and brown ink with grey wash.

There is a horizon drawn in and marked at three points with vertical dotted lines, each numbered ‘5’.
