A hooker lying at a buoy

A port-quarter view of a hooker lying at a buoy. In the background, a flute and several yachts are becalmed. In the right distance are some buildings on a spit of land.

This is freely drawn, much in the manner of the Younger, but attributed to the Elder on account of the way the shadows are put in. The pen-work may be by a later hand. This drawing is very approximately dated by the style.
