Dutch ships becalmed

On the left, a stern view of a ship with flag at the main; a pendant at the mizzen peak, probably as a signal for a council-of-war, as there are several boats around her. On the right, there is a port broadside view of a ship.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger in pencil and grey ink.
