Description
English: Painting shows 'Barfleur' in the centre, firing from her starboard guns into the French flagship, 'Ville de Paris'. The latter on the right side, is striking her colours, both in starboard-quarter view. 'Barfleur' flying the red flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood at the mizzen, a red ensign at the stern, and a red signal flag at the fore. On the left and considerably beyond others is Rodney's 'Formidable', starboard-quarter view, her starboard guns firing into a Frenchman, seen in port-bow view with missing foremast. The French ship 'Ardent', 64 guns, is on the far right flying a red ensign over French colours to indicate it's capture. The 'Ardent' built in Hull in 1764 and captured by France in 1779. Following her recapture here she was renamed 'Tiger'. Read more at source.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1824, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
