Portrait of the 'Brederode'

The ‘Brederode’, 59 guns, built 1646, sunk in action 1658, is viewed from the starboard quarter. On the tafferel is the quartered and ineschutcheoned arms of Willem II on a crowned shield supported by two lions. On the rail above, there is a half-length figure of Neptune. Below on the wing transom is inscribed ‘BRE….’

This is an offset from an elaborate drawing, partly worked up with wash and with a little pencil added to the guns.
