A group of six fishing people
This figure study shows men and women in various poses carrying and holding a variety of baskets, yokes and sacks.
The unsigned drawing’s stylistic resemblance to drawings of similar subjects from the Milford Collection, now at the NMM, suggest a tentative attribution to Willem van de Velde, the Elder, and a date of about 1655, when the artist was particularly busy with grisailles, in which he introduced groups of people in the foreground.
