Description: | This has a received identification with the Battle of Jutland, despite lack of an inscription. It is Wyllie's impression of a 'Lion'-class battlecruiser ('Lion', 'Princess Royal' or 'Queen Mary') under heavy shelling, so could be 'Lion' or 'Princess Royal' at the Dogger Bank on 24 January 1915 or at Jutland on 31 May 1916. 'Lion' was Vice-Admiral David Beatty's flagship in both actions, which may suggest she is the more likely subject. It could also be 'Queen Mary' at Jutland but she was not present at the Dogger Bank action.
