A stern view of the ‘Gouden Leeuw’ close-hauled or a point free on the starboard tack under fore course, mizzen and fore and main topsails. A flute dead before the wind crossing her bows close ahead. In the right foreground, the after part of a smalschip crowded with people, close –hauled on the port tack. There is land in the background.

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder.
