Portrait of a Dutch frigate

A portrait of a Dutch frigate viewed from before the starboard beam.

This is one of seven drawings accurately carried out in light pencil and wash. It is probably based on an offset but so far as can be seen, not in reverse. It is approximately dated by the watermarks and subjects.
