A Dutch frigate hove-to

A near view of a frigate from the port quarter showing an almost blank tafferel. The main topsail and mizzen are full and the fore and mizzen topsails are aback.

This is an unsigned offset and pencil drawing, by the Younger, which has been strengthened with pen and brown ink. According to Robinson this is a poor offset, rubbed on the back, with the pen and ink additions considered to be by a later hand.
