A weyschuit pushing off from the shore

A slight drawing showing to the left a port broadside view of a weyschuit being pushed off from the shore. In the left foreground there is a figure walking up the beach carrying something on his back. To the right, several figures on the shore and two weyschuits lying by a pier.

This is a pencil drawing by the Younger, signed on the back ‘W.V.VJ.’ It is inscribed with an ‘L’ (light) in the sky.
