Royal George 1759 by Serres.
[Dominic Serres]
Ink and grey wash. Sheet 170 x 450mm (6¾ x 17¾"). 'Royal George' in same grey wash on reverse, title on front (as above) in later hand. Tears, stains, mounted on card.
The starboard side of the 'Royal George', a first-rate with 100 guns on three decks, the largest warship in the world when launched in 1756. The year of this sketch she was Admiral Sir Edward Hawke's flagship at the Battle of Quiberon Bay, where she sank 'Superbe'. Royal George sank in 1782 at Spithead off Portsmouth while she was rolled for maintenance, with the loss of more than 800 lives. The wreck was a major hazard in the Solent until 1840, when gunpowder was used to destroy it. We believe this sketch shows the Royal George with damage after the Battle of Quiberon Bay. Dominic Serres (1722-93) was a French-born maritime painter who documented the events of the Seven Years' War, including Quiberon Bay and the Capture of Havana in 1762.
