An unsigned drawing by the Elder, viewed from before the starboard beam. It is inscribed ‘de nasby [? London written over] / nu de carolus’ (The Naseby, now the Charles).

This drawing is an offset, probably not in reverse since no entering port is shown. The offset has been rubbed on the back, worked up rapidly and not very accurately with a pencil and a little wash.

The ‘Naseby’ was the flagship of the Restoration squadron in 1660, and the original drawing was no doubt made at this time, with the offset being taken soon afterwards.

There is a drawing of the ‘Royal Charles’ viewed from the starboard quarter in the Scheepvaart Museum, Amsterdam
