DescriptionThis seascape painting shows a number of moored barges in the foreground, while in the middle distance can be seen larger sailing ships and a single steam ship with two stacks in the centre. To the left of the sailing ships is a sand bank with a building on it. On the horizon is a thin streak of light pink. The sky is a green-grey, which is reflected in the sea." The artist was born at Christchurch, Hampshire, and studied in London, where he was closely associated with such men as Fred. Walker, Sir J.D. Linton, and William Morris. A poetic painter of the Impressionist school, he devoted himself chiefly to river and marine subjects in the manner of Whistler." Municipal Gallery of Art Illustrated Catalogue 1908.
