An English flagship before a strong breeze
A ship viewed from before the starboard beam with a strong breeze on her starboard quarter. Mizzen and main and mizzen topsails drawing, but the fore topsail braced round and shaking; fore course clewed up. There are flags at the fore and the main and a ship on the right, bow view.
This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, touched with pen and brown ink. The ship on the right has been crudely strengthened by a later hand.
