This painting is attributed to naval officer and painter Bernhard Grodtschilling (<i>Flåden gennem 475 år</i>, facing page 64). It shows vessels from the Danish navy in the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Great_Northern_War" title="Category:Great Northern War">Great Northern War</a>.  To the left, the 76-gun ship of the line <i>Prinz Frederik</i> (Forsvargalleriet.dk identified her as the <i>Prins Christian</i>.), and at the center the 20-gun frigate <i>Løvendals Galej</i>. Based on the signals hoisted it has been suggested that the painting shows a scene from the beginning of the 1710 battle of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:K%C3%B8ge" title="Category:Køge">Køge</a> Bay, but that clashes with the fact that <i>Løvendals Galej</i> was launched in 1711. Dimensions 26,5 x 35,5 cm. Original painting is at <i>Søofficers-Foreningen</i> in Copenhagen.
Bernhard Grodtschilling (1697-1776)
