Studies of figures in boats

Four rapid studies on one sheet of figures, probably Moorish, in boats. Three studies show figures holding the tiller in the sternsheets of a boat; and the fourth shows a boat pulled by two men with another man steering and a fourth as a passenger

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger. It is in pen and ink over rapid preliminary work in thick pencil.
