Looking out from shore across calm water this scene shows on the left a port broadside view of a smalschip at anchor. Beyond her, lies another smalschip with her mainsail set becalmed. In the right foreground, three men are pushing off a weyschuit. In the right middle-distance, a Dutch flagship and a yacht are visible. More vessels appear on the low horizon.
