~ Victorian Watercolour Of HMS Victory Firing A Broadside In Portsmouth Harbour ~

The painting is in subtle evening sunsets colours with Lord Nelsons flagship firing an upper deck saluting broadside. To the left is a further three decker ship of the line.

Judging by the two, small, steam, paddlewheel ships the piece dates to around 1840.

The painting is present in a glazed frame with a single lined mount.
