The 'Duchess' before a light breeze
Portrait of the three-decker ‘Duchess’ before a light breeze under fore course, viewed from abaft the starboard beamm with topsails and half clewed up main course. She is firing a salute. A flag is at the mizzen and a pendant is at the mizzen peak. The mastheads of the fore and main are not shown. In the right distance is a stern view of another three-decker.
