Henry Scott Tuke, R.A., R.W.S. (1858-1929)

This rapidly executed watercolour study depicts Lowestoft fishing boats moored at Falmouth docks. The subject was a favourite of Tuke's, who painted the boats at Falmouth as well as when he went to Lowestoft in 1905. A steam-powered crane used on the dockside at Falmouth features on the far left of the picture.
