Portrait of a States yacht

A States yacht viewed from slightly before the port beam. The drawing shows the mainsail and headsails as high as the jaws of the gaff. It appears there are two guns before the leeboard and one close abaft. There is one gun on the quarterdeck.

Rubbed on the back. Sails and figures put in, possibly by the Younger. False signature of the Younger. Approximately dated by the watermark.
