Weyschuits getting ready for sea in the Helder
Three weyschuits near the shore, lying alongside one another close to a pier, the two nearest lying bow and stern have no sail set; the third has her mainsail loosed. A boat is pulling in on the right. There are ships in the background.
This drawing would be suspect were it not for the inscription in the Elder’s hand on the reverse. The wash has possibly been added by another hand. The margins of the drawing have been lined with pen and grey ink.
