The after part of a galjoot

The after part, starboard side, of a small vessel, probably a galjoot. There is a man at the helm, and five other men before the mizzen.

On the back there is a slight sketch of a Dutch ship close-hauled on the starboard tack, viewed from the lee bow.

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