專家說明

According to Dr. Margaret MacDonald, the present work was likely executed by James McNeill Whistler while sitting with his companion and fellow artist, Walter Sickert, at Barnoon Terrace, St. Ives. Hence the broad brushwork, which is characteristic of sketches Whistler completed while outside the studio. This watercolor depicts the Globe Inn, a public house, with figures sitting along Doble's wall, where the locals would gather to gossip. Attached to the Globe Inn was a 'pent-house,' which today would be considered a lean-to.
