Bow of the 'St. Michael' 1669

The port side of the ‘St. Michael’, showing the figurehead of a bird drawing Neptune in a chariot, the head rails and the beakhead bulkhead.

Inscribed ‘d Mighal’ and ‘dit is te lange’ (This is too long).

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).
