Coast of Holland showing a pile-driver at work
In the centre middle-distance a pile-driver is being used to build a sea-wall below some dunes. On the left a weyschuit is hauled up stern-first on a beach near a beacon and several other small vessels are at anchor on a calm sea to the right. This is one of a group of twelve drawings in pen and brown ink all being shore scenes or distant views of the Dutch coastline and likely, from the appearance of the ships, to have been made in the 1650s.
