Portrait of a small Dutch frigate

A rapid and accurate drawing of a small Dutch frigate viewed from slightly before the starboard beam. On the broadside it appears to carry ten guns on the gun deck and two on the quarterdeck. There are two aft on the lower deck.

The drawing is signed ‘W.V.V.J.' and is dated by the subject, but could be later.
