"A French Lugger Pursued by an English Cutter" is a maritime painting by the British artist Thomas Buttersworth (1768–1842), who was renowned for his seascapes and depictions of naval warfare. The painting illustrates a dramatic naval chase during the Napoleonic Wars, a period when the British Royal Navy and the French Navy were frequently in conflict on the high seas. Buttersworth, who served in the Royal Navy before embarking on his artistic career, brought a high level of authenticity and technical detail to his work, which is evident in this painting.

The artwork captures the tense moment of pursuit, with the French lugger—a type of small sailing vessel known for its speed and agility—attempting to evade capture by the faster and more heavily armed English cutter. Buttersworth's skill in rendering the sea and ships in motion is on full display, with meticulous attention to the rigging, sails, and the tumultuous ocean environment. The painting's composition, with its dynamic interplay of natural elements and human endeavor, reflects the peril and excitement of naval engagements of the era.

As a historical document, "A French Lugger Pursued by an English Cutter" offers insight into the naval tactics and ship design of the early 19th century, as well as the broader geopolitical conflicts that shaped the period. Buttersworth's works are considered valuable by historians and art collectors alike for their accuracy and artistic merit, and this painting is no exception. It is a testament to the artist's ability to convey the drama of naval history through his evocative and technically proficient maritime scenes.
