Montague Dawson: A Moonlight Scrap

Montague Dawson: A Moonlight Scrap. This dramatic watercolour on paper shows a WWI R-class destroyer escorting a battleship through a night-time encounter in choppy seas. The moon has emerged from behind scudding clouds to illuminate her bow as she makes smoke to mask the battleship behind her. An enemy ship can be seen on her port side and the waterspout from a shell can be seen clearly to starboard. All three ships are firing their guns, the orange flashes bright in the darkness. Written in pencil on the reverse ‘A Moonlight scrap’. English, circa 1915.
