Portrait of a small Dutch frigate

A small Dutch frigate viewed from before the starboard beam. The fore course is loosed with the yard lowered half-mast. It is bending the main course and the topsails are hauled out to a bowline.

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