A galliot before the wind

An unsigned drawing of a galliot or similar vessel before the wind, viewed from off the starboard bow; only her square mainsail is set. A boat with three men in it can be seen in the right foreground.

The drawing is compositional in character and may have been copied from a painting by Van de Velde the younger.
