A distant view of a Dutch harbour

A view showing what may be an embankment in the middle-distance on the right where there are trees and houses. The embankment runs away into the distance to the left, but it may be separated by a channel from the land on the extreme left.

Inscribed ‘? Gesicht nade s..el..ree te sien’ (View looking towards …roads).

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder. A horizon has been ruled in with a stylus.
