Portrait of a Dutch frigate

Viewed before the starboard quarter. On the tafferel, a lion is rampant and being attacked by two dogs.

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger. It is a rapid and accurate drawing over preliminary work in slight pencil which gives the impression of it being based on an offset; but the drawing is not rubbed on the back and is not in reverse.
