Specialist note


Vicat Cole spent the summer of 1880 at Wargrave, a village on the Thames, south of Henley, making preparatory sketches and studies for this picture, which was then displayed at the Royal Academy the following year. In June 1880, Cole was elected to full membership of the Royal Academy, signifying that he had reached the peak of his artistic maturity.
