The decoration of the 'St. Michael' 1669

The figurehead of the ‘St. Michael’ depicting a bird drawing Neptune in a chariot; the port cathead and the port quarter-gallery with a note on the wale near it ‘geel’ (yellow). Also a square decorated port with the note ‘g de lijst vand hals mast’.

Inscribed ‘vand sint mighel’ (Of the ‘St. Michael’).

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger.

This is one of three drawings of detail of ships which were being drawn probably at the same time by the Elder (PAJ2300, PAI7579).
