George Stanfield Walters (1838-1924), the eldest son of the Liverpool maritime painter Samuel Walters, commenced exhibiting in 1860 at the Royal Academy and British Institution. Although traditionally identified as a maritime artist this early work, exhibited at the Liverpool Academy in 1861, is interesting in that it establishes him as a more informal Pre-Raphaelite landscape painter, ultimately influenced by Ford Madox Brown.
