The figurehead of an English ship
A slight drawing of a crowned lion with a figure on its back holding reins.
Above is a kneeling figure of Fame, which is probably part of the decoration of the head.
This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Elder.
The lion is so weakly drawn that doubt is thrown on the whole drawing. It has been approximately dated by the watermark.
