拍品專文

Very similar in composition to a watercolour by fellow Bristol artist William James Müller, exhibited at Agnew's, London, 2002, no. 65. In the Agnew's catalogue the Müller version is compared with a view of a lake entitled Compton Dando near Bristol in the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design.
As J.L. Roget wrote in A History of the Old Water-Colour Society, London and New York, 1891, p. 268, Fripp's works were 'characterized by refined delicacy and tenderness of aerial effect, by truth of colour, and by the learned breadth and scrupulous balance of their composition'.
