A Dutch flagship before the wind
A near view from before the starboard beam of a ship with flag at the fore before a moderate breeze under fore and main courses and fore topsail, and main topsail half-mast high.
This is a pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, signed in brown ink ‘W.V.VJ’. A lot of pen and wash has been added by a later hand, possibly by Charles Gore. The head of the ship with the raised catheads has an English appearance and seems to be an addition.
