The image depicts the legendary George Anson, Baron Anson, an esteemed English naval commander of the 18th century. With his unwavering determination and strategic brilliance, he stands proudly on the deck of his ship, the Centurion. The scene unfolds amidst a fierce battle between British and Spanish forces during the War of Jenkins Ear (1739-1748). Positioned on the right side of the frame is Anson's formidable vessel as it engages with its adversary - the Spanish galleon Nostra Signora de Cabadonga.
