Dutch ships, yachts and other vessels near a quay

On the right is a pier with several vessels lying at the end and in the foreground boats crowded with people. In the centre middle-distance, three States yachts are lying alongside each other. To the left, a wijdschip and a crowd of bezan yachts are lying nearby. Ships are at anchor in the background.

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder, with the boats strengthened with a little pen and brown ink.
