Description: | ?W.V.V J?
On the left is an admiral in starboard-bow view with a pendant at the fore. Courses, topsails, topgallants, spritsail and spritsail topsail are loosed or in the brails. A large number of ships are becalmed in the background.
The drawing is approximately dated by the watermark. The signature seems to be genuine but may have been added circa 1700.
