HMS Achilles during the Battle of the River Plate

HMS <em>Achilles</em> during the Battle of the River Plate

Painting of HMS Achilles (foreground) in action during the Battle of the River Plate, 13 December 1939. The New Zealand flag can be seen on the mainmast (the British white ensign is on the foremast). The Admiral Graf Spee is in the background in the distance to the left, and HMS Ajax in the distance to the right. The painting is by Arthur John Lloyd.

Hello, we have inherited the painting of H.M.S Achilles (foreground) painting by A Lloyd. We do not know much in the way of value for insurance or if this has value. Would appreciate any help.
