Studies of the bow and a frigate and of the stern of a ship, possibly the same one, 1811

No. 9 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961)

Drawing extensively annotated with the name of the vessel, colour notes, etc, and the date, 29 November 1811.

The name of the vessel is hard to decipher, and although the names looks like Vernon, there was not a ship in the navy with this name in 1811. The figurehead is a female classical figure.
