Whale being flayed by men (unfinished)
Rough watercolour sketch of a whale being flayed. The carcass of the whale is alongside the whaling vessel, possibly the skin or blubber being pulled up the side of the vessel, red colour suggesting blood. Rough forms of seabirds in the foreground, possibly another whale bottom left.
