A Dutch ship in a light breeze

A distant starboard broadside view of a ship with its fore topsail set, main topsail shivered and fore course loosed in the brails.

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger. It is of doubtful date according to Robinson, but is judged by its subject to belong to this period.
