This painting was likely painted during Beament’s year as a Canadian War artist. The location is a view overlooking the entrance to St John’s Harbour in Newfoundland, with the Queen’s Battery on Signal Hill as the focal point and rising in the distance the city of St. John’s. The battery, though no longer active in this time, gives the viewer a feeling of security with its cannons sitting atop the cliffs pointing out to the Atlantic. The addition of snowfall adds to the feeling of comfort and quiet. This composition shows Beament’s skill with perspective, evocative use of colour and heightened realism.
