A port quarter view of a frigate before the wind under topsails. A boat can be seen positioned alongside with two others astern. In the background there is a ship close-hauled on the port tack and another before the wind under easy sail.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger in soft rapid pencil. It has been very approximately dated by the style and watermark.
