Uncolored engraving depicting a seascape with two vessels flying Dutch flags in the foreground. The leftmost has a boat tethered to it; under it, in the margin, is printed "Een Staten Iacht" (A State Yacht). The righthand vessel also has a boat near it on the water; under it is printed "Een uytlegger of Watte Convoyer" (An interpreter or Guardship).
Ink has been used to attempt to amend "Watte" to "Wasste"; it appears to be approximately contemporary with object.
