About this work
Small sketchy, polychromed stacked model of a four-master, incomplete. It has a straight falling bowsprit and pointed forepart; flat stern. In cross-section the hull is entirely square, in the sternship sharp; broad keel and in the right-angle bilges a protruding edge around the ship. Completely flat sheer and one wale. On the deck stand two deckhouses, a bitt and a capstan. The four-masted rigging shows only the masts, yards and masts, plus the bowsprit.
