A Dutch ship at sea with her foremast gone by the board
To the right, a starboard broadside view of a ship with the stump only of her foremast left; the mast is alongside; two boats standing by. The mizzen is set, but the main course and topsail are furled; a weft at her ensign staff. On the left, a lee quarter view of a galjoot with the wind on the port quarter, running down towards the ship. Many ships are depicted in the distance.
This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder.
