A starboard quarter view of a boeier ? a type of Dutch vessel identifiable from its curved spoon bow and deep sail. Another boeier and a smaller rowing boat are just visible to the left and right respectively, while a stake, emerging from the shore in the left foreground, serves as a compositional device, echoing the angle of the gaff. The drawing is inscribed with the letter ?L? in the sky, indicating the principal source of light.
