The Collection of Admiral Sir Charles Madden, for whom this work was likely commissioned.
Private collection, UK.
Admiral Sir Charles Madden became commander of the Atlantic Fleet in 1919. After taking over the position from Captain Beatty as full Admiral, he flew his flag on HMS Queen Elizabeth, depicted in the foreground.
Along with William Wyllie and John Lavery, Frank Wood was a guest of Admiral Sir Charles Madden on board HMS Queen Elizabeth to oversee the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet. In 1938, Wood would also be commissioned as the official artist to accompany George VI and Queen Elizabeth on their tour of Canada.
