Dutch ships at anchor in harbour

In the left middle-distance there is a port-broadside view of a ship at anchor, and on the right a ship becalmed with others at anchor beyond. In the right foreground are the remains of a groyne with a ship’s boat behind it. The drawing is unsigned and the paper has part of watermark, the lower part of a seven-pointed fool’s cap.
