Abstract:
"A scene on the deck of a man-of-war at the base of a large mast. Two sailors and a naval officer are astonished at the appearance of a burly sailor (right), on his knees at the foot of the mast, one hand on the deck, the other grasping his hip. The two sailors (left) say: "Shiver my top-sails what a tumble! and yet he dont seem much hurt," and "He must have come direct from the top-gallant mast head." The officer asks solicitously: "My good fellow - where the devil did you come from?" The sailor answers: "Please your Honor - I came from the North of Ireland." All three sailors wear short blue jackets, with black ties knotted stock-fashion; two have striped trousers, the third has a fur cap and a petticoat. The officer wears cocked hat and uniform coat and sword with white trousers. All four wear buckled shoes."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
