The Armed Trawler Paul Rykens
Son of veteran War Artist Sir Muirhead Bone (1876-1953) Stephen was a camouflage officer at the beginning of the war, before being appointed by the War Artists' Advisory Committee in 1943. A prolific artist, Bone produced oil paintings and rapid sketches on board ship, direct from life. Many of his pictures show war vessels at rest in the quiet and secluded locks and harbours of the Scottish Isles.
