Two English ships becalmed

A near starboard broadside view of a ship with her fore course, mizzen and topsails set. Close on her port bow, a ship with flag at the main under the same canvas; her fore course and topsails just filling with a light air.

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Younger. It has been numbered ‘5’.
