Three seated figures<br><p>On the right a man is seated on an upturned basket facing a woman seated on the left. Behind them another man is seated, shown in back view and more faint. 
</p><p>The unsigned drawing’s stylistic resemblance to drawings of similar subjects from the Milford Collection, now at the NMM, suggest a tentative attribution to Willem van de Velde, the Elder, and a date of about 1655.<br></p>
