Description
Five overlapping figures struggle atop a small boat in the midst of battle. Several men climb out of the water while others gesture in fear and terror. In this drawing, John Singleton Copley focuses on a slice of a large and complex composition, showing defeated Spanish soldiers poised for rescue. Copley made close to a hundred drawings, three of which are in the Lyman Allyn’s collection. This drawing, which is “squared,” or overlaid with a grid for transfer and enlargement, shows a segment that was modified in the final painting, now in the Guildhall Art Gallery in London. Gift of Mrs. Edward S. Harkness
