Description
English: Two studies of HMS 'Royal Sovereign'
Inscribed by the artist, lower right. 'R Sov'. Two loose studies of the battleship 'Royal Sovereign', built at Portsmouth Dockyard, launched on 29 April 1915 and completed in May 1916. These sketches of her at anchor show her rig as completed and were probably made in 1916-17. The main wash drawing is a view from off the port bow: the slighter pencil sketch takes practically the same angle from off the starboard bow. The paper has a ble-grey tint and has been given a wash of blue-green watercolour over which the rest is worked.
