A flute at anchor

A port bow view showing the foresail let fly and men furling the main topsail.

This is an offset and pencil drawing by the Younger, signed in brown ink, ‘W.V.VJ’. The hull has been rubbed on the back, with masts and sails added in pencil. It is of doubtful date, according to Robinson, but is judged by its subject to belong to this period.
