Capture of the 'Resistance' (40) and 'Constance' (22) by 'San Fiorenzo' (44) and 'Nymphe' (36) off Brest, 9 Mar 1797
Pocock's final conceptual sketch for the oil painting for Lady Neale (see PAD8745) of Sir Harry, her husband's, action of Brest. Pocock has added the note: 'Mr P. thinks this better as to disposition of the ships being more Extended'. The entrance to Brest is in the distance, left, with the Parquet Rock marked as a dark dash on the water in the left foreground. There is a slight hull sketch on the reverse of the paper which bears part of a Whatman Turkey Mill watermark. Exhibited: NMM Pocock exhib. (1975), no. 77.
