A Dutch ship hove-to under topsails and mizzen

A ship viewed from abaft the port beam, with the mizzen set, fore topsail aback, and main mizzen topsails lowered on the cap.

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger, with light touches of pen and brown ink. According to Robinson it is less skilfully done than other work of the same date.
