专家说明

Bryan Hook was James Clarke Hook's second son, and emulated his father's style. This picture is in many ways a tribute to J.C. Hook's The Coast Boy gathering Eggs, also painted at Lundy, and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1858. J.C. Hook also exhibited a popular engraving of the subject at the R.A. in 1865. For years the current picture was mis-attributed to J.C. Hook on account of the added monogram and date (lower right). It was thought to be his R.A. exhibit of 1877 entitled A Gull Catcher. That picture is however in the Brighton and Hove Museum and Art Gallery.
