In the middle-distance, two pinks starboard broadside view, hauled up on the shore. The nearer one has her mainsail set. Two others near the water’s edge are being unloaded. In the right foreground, a cart with two horses is making for the water. In the centre there is a man carrying a woman, and several other figures; and beyond, a horse and cart in the water. The dunes stretching away to the left, where there is a tower, probably Brandaris in Terschelling.

This is an unsigned pen, brown ink and grey wash drawing by the Elder. The cart on the right has been drawn on a piece of paper posted over a muddled drawing of a cart going in the opposite direction.
