This is a pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, signed ‘W.V.VJ’. It is compositional in character and according to Robinson, more broadly drawn than is usual for the Younger at this period, but the way the clouds are put in mark it as his work. It has been very approximately dated by the subject and signature.
