A rare and original painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert depicting the battle of 1770 in the bay of Chesma. The sea is full of galleons, their sails unfurled. In the foreground, on the left, a galleon is burning, while white plumes thrown up by the cannonballs can be seen on the water. The ships are lined up offshore, but the battle has only just begun and its outcome is still uncertain. Near the shore the sea is slightly choppy.
The painting is on display at the Peterhof Palace, Petrodvorets, St Petersburg, Russia.
