"A Squadron of Danish Warships Moored off the Entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, with the Masts of Shipping in the Harbour in the Distance" is a maritime painting by the British artist Henry Thomas Dawson (1811–1878). This work captures a serene and detailed view of Danish naval vessels anchored near the bustling English port city of Portsmouth during the 19th century. The painting is notable for its historical context, as it reflects the international naval presence and the significance of Portsmouth as a key strategic and commercial maritime hub in the era of sail.

Henry Thomas Dawson, known for his marine and landscape paintings, often depicted scenes of the British coastline and its associated naval activities. In this particular work, Dawson's skill in rendering the calm waters, the intricate rigging of the ships, and the distant architecture of Portsmouth showcases his attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the maritime environment.

The painting serves as a historical document, providing insight into the naval technology and ship design of the period, as well as the diplomatic and trade relationships between Denmark and the United Kingdom. The presence of Danish warships in a British harbour could suggest a time of peace and cooperation between the two nations, allowing for a moment of quietude amidst the often turbulent history of European naval affairs.

As a piece of Dawson's oeuvre, "A Squadron of Danish Warships Moored off the Entrance to Portsmouth Harbour" exemplifies the artist's contribution to British marine art and his fascination with the interplay of natural light, water, and the majesty of sailing vessels.
