The battle of Møn was fought between a Swedish and a Danish squadron, beginning in the afternoon of May 31, 1677 and continuing the next day. The painting shows a Swedish ship of the line (to the right) which has lowered its colours. A Danish boat is approaching. The surrending Swedish ship is probably the <i>Amarant</i>, flagship of admiral Erik Sjöblad, and the Danish ship of the line in the centre is probably the <i>Christianus Quintus</i>, flagship of admiral Niels Juel.</div>
