Galjoots and other vessels leaving a small Dutch harbour

In the centre, a starboard bow view of a sprit-rigged galjoot with a light breeze on the starboard quarter. To the left, a smalschip coming out from a gap in the sea-wall near a village. A number of other vessels are shown under sail and several ships at anchor out in the stream to the right.

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