A painting of an RNLI lifeboat rowing through large waves towards a sailing vessel in distress in the distance.
This is a glass copy negative of an original painting. The painting depicts an RNLI self-righting lifeboat being rowed through very large waves towards a sailing vessel in distress in the distance. There is no evidence to relate this image to a particular event.
The glass side of the negative has been enhanced with red masking fluid, especially for the tops of the waves and white of the lifeboat's self-righting tanks.
