Naval Battle

Charcoal sketch
34 x 46 cm
Indistinctly inscribed to mount

This striking charcoal sketch depicts a naval battle during the Second World War. It is a tumultuous scene, as bombs hit the water, making large splashes, planes fly overhead and naval vessels move through the water. The sketched nature of this drawing conveys the dynamism of the scene, everything moving at an accelerated past as the chaos of war unfurls.
