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

This sketch in watercolour is typical of studies Tuke made of his models on Newporth beach in Falmouth, with its distinctive rocks. The figure leaning on the rowing boat wearing a hat is probably Charlie Mitchell who appeared in many of Tuke's paintings both clothed and nude.
