"An English Flagship Heaving-to off the Dutch Coast with Barges Inshore" is a maritime painting by the British artist Charles Martin Powell (1775–1824), who was known for his detailed and atmospheric seascapes. This work, like many of Powell's paintings, captures the majesty of the sea and the vessels that navigated its waters during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting depicts a scene of a large English flagship, its sails billowing as it heaves to—meaning it has reduced its sail area and is coming to a stop or making slow progress through the water—off the coast of the Netherlands. In the foreground, smaller barges are seen closer to the shore, suggesting a busy and interconnected maritime world.

Powell's work is characterized by his ability to convey the texture of the sea and sky, with meticulous attention to the effects of light and atmosphere on the water. His paintings often feature ships of the Royal Navy, reflecting the period's naval power and the importance of maritime trade and military might. "An English Flagship Heaving-to off the Dutch Coast with Barges Inshore" is emblematic of Powell's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in rendering ships with accuracy and his fascination with the sea as a subject.

The painting is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the naval architecture and maritime practices of the time. It also serves as an example of the Romantic fascination with the sea as a symbol of power and the sublime. As with many of Powell's works, this painting would have appealed to a 19th-century audience that was increasingly interested in the drama and spectacle of the natural world, as well as Britain's role as a dominant naval force.

While the exact date of creation for this painting is not specified, it is likely from the peak of Powell's career, when he was actively producing works for patrons and exhibitions. The painting contributes to the rich tradition of British marine art and stands as a testament to Charles Martin Powell's reputation as a prominent marine artist of his time.
