Lot 627: William Evans of Eton (British, 1798-1877)

watercolour

35 x 44.5 cm. (13 3/4 x 17 1/2 in.)

Leger Galleries, December 1978.

The pair of locks on Romney Island provided Evans with the subject for many works, some of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy. The artist often brought his pupils to this spot for sketching and always included the dappled grey carthorse in his own versions of the view.
