This is a giclee limited edition reproduction of a c1940 Watercolour on paper printed to the original size. One amongst several haunting naval images painted whilst Ravilious was fulfilling his role as Official War Artist aboard the H. M. S Highlander. There’s a vastness of sky and seascape here which seems to emphasise the loneliness of the single mariner. But there’s a poignant beauty in the blues and browns, and the flecked spray seems to dance at the tops of an icy depth.
