This 19th-century oil painting on a metal panel depicts a dramatic naval scene titled 'Lord Howe on the Deck of the Queen Charlotte, 1 June 1794.' The composition is based on the work of Mather Brown and illustrates the Battle of the Glorious First of June. The foreground shows Admiral Lord Howe in a full-dress uniform and cocked hat on the ship's quarter deck, surrounded by officers and soldiers attending to a wounded lieutenant. To the left, a captain leans against a ship's cannon. The background features a turbulent sea with several sailing ships engaged in battle amidst smoke and spray. The artwork is housed in a wide, ornate gilt frame featuring scrolled acanthus leaf carvings and a rope-twist inner border. The framed dimensions are approximately 56.5 cm high, 66.5 cm wide, and 4.5 cm deep.
