This mid-century modern oil on board seascape, dated 1943 by artist Stewart Scheetz, depicts two battleships crashing through aggressive waves, with dense exhaust smoke emanating from the central ship. The composition utilizes a cool palette of deep blues, seafoam whites, and slate greys to immerse the viewer in a volatile marine environment, with additional ships visible in the distance. The artwork is signed "Stewart C. Scheetz 1943" on the bottom right and measures approximately 19 3/4 in. H x 23 7/8 in. W. It exhibits some wear and discoloration consistent with its age.
