Portrait of an English sixth rate

Portrait of an English sixth-rate. This is a very rapid drawing made with rather less assurance than the Younger usually employed at this period; but unlike many signatures, which may have been added years later as a sign of ownership, the one on this drawing seems to have been put on at the time the drawing was made.
