Signed by artist, lower right. This shows the position at about 18.40 on 31 May 1916 with the battlecruisers 'Lion', 'Princess Royal', 'Tiger' and 'New Zealand' from off the port bow as they pass in line ahead of the sinking battlecruiser 'Invincible', which had blown up at 18.32. 'Lion' was Beatty's flagship and the division is firing to starboard over the wreck of 'Invincible', whose separated bow and stern, as shown here, were still above water at 18.57 when the battleships of the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Grand Fleet also passed either side of her.
