Portrait of the 'Tiger'
A view from slightly before the starboard beam of the English 46-gun ship ‘Tiger’, which was built in 1647 as a 44-gun fourth rate, then rebuilt in 1681 and again in 1702. The drawing concentrates on detailing the design of the vessel, showing wreathed ports above and two sweep-ports between each port on the gun deck, but also shows the decks crowded with figures. It is probably an offset, well worked up.
