Notes
  • Offered for sale at Sotheby's London, 15 December 2015.
  • Charles Darwin is the central figure in a top hat, delivering a long-winded description of an insect he is holding. The ship's captain Robert Fitzroy is the second figure to the left of Darwin, seen from behind, who is depicted as chattering excitedly about a mineral. The officer beside him, thought to be 1st Lieutenant John Clements Wickham, is depicted muttering "There is no such thing as walking the deck for all these cursed specimens".An apparently disgruntled sailor to the right is seen sloping off with a theodolite and a bottle of rum.
