Description
English: 'Victory' in Portsmouth Harbour, 1827

No. 21 of 73 (PAI0889 - PAI0961)

Drawing inscribed in the upper right 'Victory April 27 – 1827 – Portsmouth Harbour.'

Schetky made a number of drawings of 'Victory' as she lay in Portsmouth harbour. In December 1823 Turner wrote to Schetky requesting help with his large painting of the battle of Trafalgar which George IV had commissioned in 1822: ‘If you will make me a sketch of the 'Victory' (she is in Hayle Lake or Portsmouth harbour) three-quarter bow on starboard side, or opposite the bow port, you will much oblige’.
