Two States yachts becalmed with the Dutch fleet at anchor

In the centre, a port broadside view of a States yacht becalmed, firing a salute. There are boats alongside to starboard. Ahead of her is the port quarter view of another yacht also saluting and with her boats near her. A number of ships are at anchor, mostly bow view, in the background.

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