Specialist note

Waterlow travelled extensively in Ireland and on the Continent yet it was the gentle rural life in England which appealed to him more. According to Martin Hardie 'his somewhat idyllic landscapes found mainly in Southern England, are marked by harmony of colour and quiet refinement.' (Watercolour Painting in Britain, vol. II, London, 1967). Like Sir Alfred East, Waterlow worked throughout his life in watercolour as well as oils, being elected a member of the Royal Academy a year after receiving his Knighthood in 1902.
