The yachts following the Tiger

On the right, a ship (probably the ‘Tiger’) starboard quarter view before a light breeze, followed by seven yachts, one in the right foreground, another on the extreme left and five in the middle-distance. Between the two leading yachts there is a state barge rigged with a small sprit-sail.

This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Elder. It has been number ‘64’, altered from ‘65’.
