The present work bears close comparison with several works that Harvey produced in the early 1920s. Marazion Marsh (1923) is very similar in composition, subject and treatment, and the present work may also depict the same marshes. Harvey also painted a work entitled Marazion Marshes, which is known from an exhibition of 1922, but a slightly smaller size at 30 x 25 inches. Another work which is stylistically comparable is Chy an Mor (1922), also known as Near Zennor which again depicts a scrubby pastoral landscape with distant farm buildings.
