A Dutch flagship furling her sails
This port quarter view of a Dutch ship with boats alongside is an offset image, taken from the same original as PAE5245. In this version the artist has worked up the drawing in pencil, paying particular attention to the masts and sails: the ship is having its mizzen set, its fore course clewed up and fore and main topsails loosed on the cap. Several men are aloft the main, ready to furl the sails.
This drawing and PAE5245 belong to a group of five images, all worked up from offsets (see also PAF6871, PAF6872 and PAF6873).
