A leading maritime painter of the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars, Whitcombe painted over 150 actions of the Royal Navy including fifty plates for The Naval Achievements of Great Britain, a splendid volume issued after the cessation of hostilities.

His work is strongly represented in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich and in other important naval collections around the world.
