拍品專文

Throughout the last decades of the nineteenth century, Hughes made numerous holiday visits to Cornwall and painted, for his own pleasure, a series of small oil sketches of the unsophisticated rustic and sea- coast life he found there. Eighty of these oils were exhibited at the Fine Art Society in 1900, but a subsequent exhibition was held at the Rembrandt Gallery in 1904. Parallels can be drawn with the coast-scapes of James Clark Hook, and the similarly sized geological studies of John Brett.
