Smalschip under sail and Dutch ships at anchor

On the left is a smalschip in port-lee view in a light breeze, with her jib boomed out to windward. Further to the left is a ship in bow view at anchor with a flag at her mizzen and pendant at the fore. A barge is in the right foreground. There is land in the distance.

This drawing is of poor quality and doubtful authenticity. It is approximately dated by the style and subject.
