About this work

A pencil sketch shows several sailing vessels on choppy water, with small figures crowded into the boats and along the waterline. The loose, quick linework records rapid observations of ships and people at sea. The work is attributed to Willem van de Velde the Younger and is catalogued as a drawing in the Royal Museums Greenwich collection.
