Two smalschips becalmed
A characteristic compositional study that combines close observation of the smalschip (a Dutch sprit-rigged transport vessel) with the subtle but clearly defined effects of a calm day. To the right is a port broadside view of a smalschip with a vessel close to starboard and another beyond. Another small vessel occupies the left side of the page.
