Unknown warship; quarter pieces

Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the stern board and starboard quarter gallery with quarter piece and taffrail counter sketches for an unknown Third Rate two-decker.

The stern board portside quarter piece is a full-length female in a long dress holding a cornucopia in her raised left hand. The starboard side is a full-length female figure in a thigh-length dress, holding an urn(?) above her head in her right hand. Her left hand holds a small vase at waist height. A large eagle with wings spread is in the centre of the taffrail counter above ‘G R’ on the cove, with a swan on each side between the main set of windows and the quarter galleries.

The starboard quarter galleries have minimal decoration, consisting of scalloped roofing on the upper finishing and two stylised dolphins at the ends of each row of windows (lights), and a decorated drop at the bottom of the galleries.
