Description: | IMG
A distant view, with a States yacht on the left and the wind on the port quarter. In the centre is a ship close-hauled on the starboard tack and a fleet at anchor off a low shore in the background.
This is an unsigned pencil and wash drawing by the Younger. It has been attributed to the Younger on account of the delicacy of the pencil and wash; the pronounced rake of the mainmasts is also characteristic of his work at this period. It has been approximately dated by the style and watermarks.
Box Title: D43. M562-M580.
