Portrait of an English three-decker, viewed from abaft the port beam. There are wreathed ports on the upper deck and quarterdeck, and open stern galleries with no large escutcheon. The disposition of the ports is rather similar to that of the ‘Britannia’, but there are inaccuracies in the drawing which make identification uncertain.

Although much of the actual draughtsmanship is like the Younger’s, there are curious mistakes in the drawing which throw doubt on the authenticity: too much of the head is show for the amount of stern that is showing, the quarter-gallery is out of drawing and also the entering port, the ship is too heigh out of the water and there are too many ports on the gundeck. The paper may well be 17th-century, but no other drawing by the Van de Veldes are known to have been done on it.
