An English frigate before a light breeze

A starboard broadside view of a small frigate before the wind under courses and topsails.

Inscribed on the back ‘dese voorseijle valle in d / Loute / Nota' (Note: this foresail is blanketed).

This is a slight pencil drawing by the Younger which has a cut signature. It is, according to Robinson, of very doubtful date.
