A small ketch at anchor and a boat pulling past her

The tranquil scene shows various ships and boats including a port bow view of a small vessel at anchor, probably a ketch, rigged with a standing gaff mainsail and a lateen mizzen. A boat is pulling past her to port in the direction of a ship at anchor in the right background. Land can be seen in the distance.

The drawing bears part of the signature in brown ink 'W.V.V.J'.
