You also appear to be right correcting the description of the painting. To the left there is indeed a three-decker under the flag of red - that could be only Monk. The English ship in the middle is a two-decker most likely under Lawson's flag. Thank you Karel for the kind words. You also appear to be right correcting the description of the painting.

Many thanks for posted paintings in high resolution. Small remark to Abrahamsz's painting of the "Battle of Scheveningen (Slag bij Ter Heide)" - in my opinion the painting's description is incorrect. English commander in chief General-at-Sea George Monck was onboard the Resolution, 88 guns (ex Prince Royal), the only three-decker present in the battle, and he was flying the red flag, not the blue one which belongs to Blue squadron of admiral Lawson onboard the two-decker George, 58 guns. I do not have detailed description of the battle at hand so I cannot say for sure which English vessel is engaged by Dutch Brederode in the centre of the painting, but I would guess that it can be Lawson's George, flying admiral of the blue flag on the mainmast (if artist's depiction of blue flags position is correct].
