The Surrender of the Dutch Admiral de Winter to Admiral Duncan at the Battle of Camperdown is a large oil painting by John Singleton Copley. It was finished in 1799 and shows the moment the British fleet wins over the Batavian fleet. The work records the end of the 1797 battle in the North Sea. Copley chose to focus on Admiral Adam Duncan accepting the surrender of Admiral Jan Willem de Winter. You can see more of Copley's work at the Scottish National Gallery.
