Both this and the following watercolour show Hunt at an early stage in his career when he was absorbing the techniques of Pre-Raphaelite painters and under the influence of Ruskin's writing. These watercolours display Hunt's technique at its most painstaking and literal, when his stippled brushwork reveals his close observation of nature.
