In this sheet we easily recognize the technique with firm contours and the luminosity in the drawing that Carlevarijs developed primarly in his studies for the etchings and in his drawings of figure-groups, mainly in two sketchbooks in the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. 

Carlevarijs did, however, adopt the same manner in a few drawings of ships. These are very close to the veristic style of Canaletto´s line drawings. 

The closest parallels to this stern view of a characteristic Venetian galley are a sheet that used to be in the Del Giudice college, Genoa, and one in the collections of G.C. Baroni, paris. The sheet sems to belong to the first decade of the 18th century. [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 173]
