The subject of this watercolour appears to relate to a drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum (see literature Fitzwilliam Museum, Exhibition catalogue (op cit) cat.no.9). The Fitzwilliam Museum exhibition catalogue also suggests a possible location for the drawing as Halnaker House in Essex. A drawing of this house in the Fitzwilliam Museum collection (acc.no.2529) shows a similar woodstack next to the building.
