The author worked for the Royal Navy (and possibly ordered this painting). However, the Crown Copyright applies to artistic works created by United Kingdom Government. Unlike the {{PD-US-Gov}}, where makes all the works from any federal employee be in the public domain, the Crown Copyright seems to work in a different way Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 17:53, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Tee artist was a war artist throughout the second world war working for Admiral Cunningham. Crown copyright applies specifically to war artists. This is mentioned in the biography of the artist and the painting is labelled up with the correct template. Victuallers (talk) 18:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Comment I assume you refer to served as official Admiralty artist to the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean Fleet. If that means that his works were created by United Kingdom Government, it's fine for me. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 21:57, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Kept: Ecemaml -- if a work created by a UK government employee is not under Crown Copyright, then what is? The "Government" doesn't actually create anything, its employees do that. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
