This painting is one of a pair with BHC0486, showing the Battle of St Vincent, 14 February 1797. The painting shows the commencement of the action, at the point when the 'Victory', 100 guns, raked the 'Salvador del Mundo', 112 guns, causing her to strike her flag. The 'Salvador del Mundo' is shown in the right foreground, in starboard-bow view, her stern swathed in the smoke of the 'Victory's' broadside, from which protrudes the port bow of that ship.
