A young bespectacled woman leans into the composition from the left with her hands submerged in a water tank. The viewing-tank appears to be on the roof of a building as there is a blue sky with clouds and the green dome of a building in the background. A camouflaged model of an aircraft carrier floats on the water and a pair of binoculars sit on the edge of the tank, in the right foreground.

Very difficult to find much information at all online about Yunge-Bateman.
