Within the collection of prints and drawings, the most recurrent themes are navies and views of ports, naval scenes and portraits of the most outstanding seamen in history.

The graphic arts collection contains prints and dies produced using various techniques: intaglio (etching, engraving and aquatint), lithography and woodcut. The themes range from naval history to portraits, landscapes and seascapes, dating back from the 16th to the 20th century. They are by artists from different schools, mainly Spanish, German and Flemish.

The highlights include a set of engravings by Frans Huis based on drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the engraving of the city of Seville by Janssen Johnson Janssonius, and those by Johann August Corvinius, from originals by Paulus Decker, on the War of the Spanish Succession.

The drawing collection is made up of more than four hundred and fifty works, among which the drawings made by Rafael Monléon, painter-restorer of the Naval Museum at the end of the 19th century, stand out for their importance. Among the author's work, the series of ninety-two plates dedicated to shipbuilding, which illustrates the historical evolution of ships from Antiquity to the nineteenth century, stands out. Also noteworthy in this collection are the seven original drawings by Pedro Grolliez, belonging to the series of views of Spanish ports commissioned by the Count of Floridablanca in 1782 to be engraved at the Royal Chalcography.
