Drawing. Inscribed below, probably by the artist, 'Spartan - 38 guns' and above; 'Sketched by Mr Paget when confined (by the rain) to his cell in the Convent of Valambrosa [Vallambrosa]...F. [indeciph] Sept 21st 1821'. The final part of the top inscription, apparently by Paget's travelling companion, is probably readable from the drawing (not sighted). Why Paget should have chosen to draw this frigate flying the Blue Peter at the fore, as ready to sail, while weatherbound in an Italian convent guesthouse during his tour of 1818-21 is as yet unresolved.
