The action at Vigo from the westward

A smaller version of PAI7580, showing the ships in exactly the same positions; an English ship has been added in the centre foreground.

This is a drawing by the Younger in pen and brown ink and grey wash. It is signed in grey ink ‘W.V.Velde J.’ It is inscribed ‘Vigo. 1702 october de 12’, and in a later hand ‘D23.’
