Six studies; two of boats, four of ships' bows including two with figureheads of a lion and a Classical warrior
This sheet of studies, reminiscent of similar drawings by the van de Veldes in the 17th century, includes two boats at the top (the one on the right being used for net fishing) and four warship bow studies, probably of frigates. One does not include the beak and figurehead and one only faintly. The other two clearly show a standard lion figurehead and a classical warrior.
