Portrait of a Dutch frigate

A depiction of a Dutch frigate, viewed from before the port beam. Some parts of the vessel’s lower masts and courses have been lightly sketched in.

This is an unsigned offset with the hull marked in outline and rubbed on the back. It has been worked up with a little neat pencil. Parts of the sail have been broadly added in thick pencil, perhaps by the hand of the Younger.
