A pink ashore [also figures paddling and others arriving in a horse-drawn cart]

A near view from the port quarter of a pink with her mainsail set, aground close inshore. Men are depicted bringing nets ashore and taking out an anchor. On the left, another pink bow view also with her mainsail set.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Elder in pen, brown ink and grey wash over a little preliminary work in pencil. Part of the cart on the right has been drawn on a piece of paper pasted over a muddled drawing.
