A smalschip in stays

On the left, a port broadside view of a smalschip in a fresh breeze with her sails shaking. On her starboard bow, another vessel a point free on the starboard tack, and in the right distance, a ship close-hauled on the starboard tack.

This is an unsigned drawing by the Younger in black chalk heightened with white on grey paper.
