- Summary:
- Titled as above at the top of the drawing, and dated and signed at the bottom 'Decr 74 AVprGB' (to the life by Gabriel Bray). The date and signature are a repetition, since Bray himself clearly trimmed this drawing at an early stage, originally signing it 'GB' on the wooden bar towards the bottom and cutting off the date which originally followed the title. The drawing was probably made at Portsmouth before the 'Pallas' sailed for Africa, or possibly at Tenerife. The man carries what is probably a sea-service musket and wears a great-coat - probably also one issued to him rather than his own.
