Boyce, best known for his bucolic views of Oxfordshire, travelled to Egypt in the winter of 1861-2 with the Swedish artist Egron Sillif Lundgren (1815-1875) and the topographical painter Frank Dillon (1823-1909). They spent several months living and working in Giza, where Boyce executed watercolours of temples, ruins, and views of the Nile.
