An estuary with a moored fishing smack, fishermen in a rowing boat nearby, a three master at anchor beyond, in threatening weather

The moored fishing smack is similar to that in Jan Porcellis's picture in the Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt, dating from 1622-1625 (J. Giltay, J. Kelch, Lof der Zeevaart, exhibition catalogue, Rotterdam, Berlin, 1997, pp. 147-149, no. 21, with ill.)
