    This original naval battle scene was among the works Loutherbourg exhibited at the 1767 Paris Salon. It was one of five of his paintings owned by the Swedish ambassador, Gustaf Philip Creutz. After his return to Sweden in 1783, the indebted Creutz sold it and several other paintings to Gustav III.
