Frigates and a yacht in a gale with men of war in the distance

No. 7 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961)

Drawing inscribed in the upper right 'the men of war to point more to the wind-/Frigates to keel much more' and in the lower right 'Frigates [?] keeling much more.'

This would appear to be a preparatory study for a painting, but as the drawing is not dated it is not possible to link it to any of Schetky’s exhibited paintings.
