Sketch for 'A Tale of Trafalgar' showing two Greenwich pensioners, a Chelsea pensioner, a woman and a child in the Painted Hall

See PAH3983 for notes: also PAH3985-6 and 9661. This titled variant of PAH3984 reduces the group discussing Turner's 'Trafalgar' to two Greenwich Pensioners debating the picture, one of them standing and pointing towards it and the other with a peg-leg sitting. A Chelsea Pensioner and a woman who is presumably his daughter, holding the hand of a small girl, look on.
