Houghton Mill, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire

Fraser Garden's watercolours are a demonstration of the late nineteenth-century revival of painstakingly observed realism. His style of work is almost photographic in detail with crisp colouring and his landscapes have an eerie clarity and are often flooded with an almost supernatural light. Houghton Mill is a watermill on the River Ouse, near Fraser Garden's home in Huntingdonshire and he made several studies of it from different viewpoints.
