Portrait of a Dutch two-decker

A Dutch two-decker viewed from the starboard broadside.

This is an accurate, unsigned, light pencil and wash drawing by the Younger, with the ports outlined with pen and brown ink. It is probably based on offsets, but as far as can be seen, it is not in reverse. It has been approximately dated by the watermark and subject.
