As Keyes points out, this drawing is similar in style and composition to drawings in the Louvre and the Fondation Custodia.  Boats sailing by a promontory with a church also occur among the etchings after Wieringen. The Louvre drawing is traced for transfer and was engraved by Jan van de Velde.  Another comparable drawing is in the Albertina, Vienna, attributed in Benesch’s catalogue of 1928 to H. Vroom. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 481]
