A calm with a boeier yacht on the Dutch coast

In the right foreground there is part of a quay with men on it and a boat at the end. Beyond it, a boeier yacht bow view under sail. On the left there is a small vessel at anchor.

This drawing by the Younger is signed in brown ink ‘W.V.VJ.’ It is in black chalk heightened with a little white.

The margin of the drawing has been lined in ink, which may be the same ink as the signature.
