Portsmouth Harbour with the 'Victory' is a 1832 oil by Edward William Cooke, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a busy harbour scene with several ships in the water. The largest ship, possibly the 'Victory', is in the centre. It has three masts and is flying a flag. In the foreground, there are smaller boats with people on board. The sky above is cloudy and grey, with a few patches of blue showing through. The overall mood of the painting is one of activity and movement. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who painted this, you could look up Edward William Cooke.
