Created in the late 18th century, this artwork captures a dramatic naval engagement during the American Revolutionary War. The battle depicted is the historic encounter between the British warship HMS Quebec and the French frigate Surveillante off the coast of Brittany, near Ushant.
The painting is a vivid representation of the fierce combat that resulted in both ships catching fire and the eventual destruction of HMS Quebec. Paton's work is noted for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the chaos and intensity of naval warfare. The artist's use of light and color emphasizes the flames engulfing the British vessel, while the surrounding sea and sky contribute to the overall atmosphere of the scene.
Richard Paton, known for his marine paintings, was a contemporary of other notable British artists of the period. His works often featured naval battles and ship portraits, reflecting the importance of maritime power to the British Empire during the 18th century. "H.M.S.

It is a significant piece for both its artistic merit and its historical value, offering insight into the period's naval tactics, ship design, and the broader geopolitical conflict between Britain and France. As such, it holds a place in the collections of maritime museums and is of interest to historians, art enthusiasts, and those fascinated by naval history.
