An English flagship before a strong breeze<br><p>A ship viewed from before the starboard beam with a strong breeze on her starboard quarter. Mizzen and main and mizzen topsails drawing, but the fore topsail braced round and shaking; fore course clewed up. There are flags at the fore and the main and a ship on the right, bow view.
</p><p>This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, touched with pen and brown ink. The ship on the right has been crudely strengthened by a later hand.<br></p>
