Portrait of a Dutch frigate

A Dutch frigate viewed from the port quarter with its main topsail loosed on the cap and fore topsail hoisted. On the tafferel is a full-length figure. The drawing is too indistinct to distinguish the admiralty.

One of ten offsets from accurate originals only slight touched with pencil. The drawing is very approximately dated by the style.
