On the right is an English frigate bearing away; on the left one coming in. A fair specimen of this good marine painter. 209 George III. Reviewing the Fleet at Portsmouth (_1012_). [See No. 235.] . . . . . D. SERRES. A large man-of-war in the centre; smaller craft on each side. 210 The Royal Yacht which brought Queen Charlotte to England in 1761, to be married to George III., in a storm (_1001_) . . . . . WRIGHT. The Royal Yacht is in the centre of the picture, attended by a convoy of twelve vessels. It had been re-named "The Royal Charlotte," and was newly ornamented with a profusion of carving and gilding for the occasion. They embarked at Stade on the 24th of August, and landed at Harwich on September 6th. Richard Wright was a painter of marine subjects. 211 A Small Sea-Piece (_1080_) . . . . . P. MONAMY. In the centre, towards the left, is an English man-of-war firing a salute; other smaller craft are to the right and left. 1 ft. 8 in. high, by 2 ft. 11 in. wide. This is an excellent specimen of Peter Monamy, an imitator, and probably pupil, of the Vandeveldes. Though much cracked, it is beautifully painted, "showing a fine quality of texture, with great precision of touch; the calm plane of the ocean level receding into the extreme distance, without that set scenic effect of passing cloud-shadows, which even the best masters have used to obtain the appearance of recession and distance; this work well deserves notice, and might puzzle the best painters of such subjects to rival."--(Redgrave's _Century of Painters_.) 212 His Majesty's Yacht in Portsmouth Harbour (_1035_) . . . . . J. T. SERRES. She has twenty-six guns, and lies across the picture; other craft are to the right and left. Behind is seen Portsmouth. Signed "_J. T. Serres_, 1820." 213 Shipping . . . . . _unnamed._ 214 On the Thames--The Tower of London (_1024_) . . . . . _unnamed._ 215 A Man-of-War engaged with two Vessels (_1015_) . . . . . MONAMY. A man-of-war is on the left engaged with two of the enemy's vessels; behind are others shown in action. (See No. 219.) 216 Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Knowles's Squadron attacking Port Louis in St. Domingo (? Hispaniola) March 8th, 1748 (_998_) . . . . . R. PATON? To the left is an English vessel, the "Cornwall," firing at a fort in the centre of the picture. More to the left is a small ship burning; on the right are other vessels attacking the fort. The fire-ship of the enemy was towed clear of the squadron by the boats, and left to burn and blow up at a distance from the fleet. The fort surrendered in the evening, and was blown up. The English lost seventy men. 217 Battle of Trafalgar--Close of the Action (_1058_). [See Companion Piece, No. 224.] . . . . . HUGGINS.
