The Herring Bark by Sieuwert van der Meulen: A sepia-toned drawing on aged paper depicts a seascape with several ships. The central ship is large with three visible masts and a hull adorned with rows of windows or portholes. People are visible on the deck, and a net hangs from the side. The ship appears to be in motion, surrounded by choppy water. In the background, two other ships are visible on the left and right. The sky is filled with clouds and birds are flying. The entire scene is rendered in reddish-brown tones.
