Like George Clausen Stott undertook part of his artistic training in Paris and both artists were significantly influenced by French realist art and painters like Jules Bastien-Lepage, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Jean-François Millet. He earned a particular reputation for evening scenes of which this intense pastel is a typical example.  His work proved particularly popular with the Edwardian public, earning Stott the sobriquet “poet-painter of the twilight” in 1908, two years after his election as an associate of the Royal Academy in 1906.
