THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR NICOLAS, LT. PAUL HARRIS, R.M. 1790-1860. The Battle of Trafalgar: Position of the Fleets at 4.30 p.m. watercolor, pencil, pen, and brown ink on paper, laid down on card, 53.8 x 76.2 cm (21 1/4 x 30 inches), framed in an elaborately decorated gilt Victorian frame topped with large cartouche to 92 x 101 cm (36 x 40 inches). Provenance: Sold Trafalgar Bicentenary: The Age Of Nelson, Wellington & Napoleon, Christies, London, October 19, 2005, lot 49. A FIRSTHAND VIEW OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS NAVAL BATTLES. Not yet sixteen, Lt. Nicolas was on board the Belleisle under the command of Captain William during the Battle of Trafalgar. He is most well-known for his 1829 written account of the battle which details the heavy casualties suffered by the men onboard his ship. His brother, Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas, and member of the Royal Navy would go on to help Admiral Nelson's daughter, Horatia, compile and edit his letters into Dispatches and Letters of Lord Nelson (London: 1844-1846). The inscriptions on the frame and identify the scene as being the positions of the ships at 4:30, the approximate time of Lord Nelson's death from injuries sustained during the battle and shortly before the conclusion of the fighting. Nicolas is also known to have produced at least one other painting depicting the Belleisle being towed away in the days following the battle. The present work most notably served as the source material for a painting by distinguished marine painter William John Huggins (1781-1845) which differs from Nicolas only in minor details. Huggins' rendition, completed in 1837, is one of three works commissioned by King William IV (1765-1837) depicting the Battle of Trafalgar, and it remains in the Royal Collection.
