Description: | On the left, a port quarter view of a ship at anchor with her sails loosed. There are two vessels alongside to starboard. To the right, a starboard broadside view of a wijdschip becalmed. There is a river bank in the foreground with posts marked by a stick and two weyschuits at the water?s edge. A tower and village can be seen in the distance.
Inscribed on the back (cut) ??was de kappiteijn maer nu /?(?een) andere groot schip daerop macken? (? Was the ?Kapitein? but now made into another large ship). Possibly referring to the 80-gun ship ?Kapitein Generaal? built in 1683, which was also known as the ?Admiraal Generaal?.
This is an unsigned pencil and wash rawing by the Younger.
