| Description: | WL Wyllie/Margate
During the 1890s the Dowdeswell Galleries, London, held several exhibitions of Wyllie's watercolours. In 1896 over a hundred coastal subjects were exhibited in ?'Salt-Water Studies', of 'Sunshine, Storms, and Calms'?, and this atmospheric watercolour may have been among them. The reviewer of the 'Athen�um' literary magazine commented that:
'In these the painter has, with incomparable skill, given us the sea in all her moods... the gradations and the atmosphere lack neither subtlety nor tenderness; and it is a supreme charm of Mr Wyllie's art that harmonies of tone, colour, and light dominate his most splendidly and sumptuously coloured drawings...'
?Athen�um?, No. 3573, April 18, 1896.
Box Title: Wyllie: Drawings. Mounted (uncatalogued) 3.
