Description

Watercolour over pencil.
Born in Calais, Francia first came to England in 1795, the year he first exhibited at the Royal Academy. He was a fellow student of Girtin at Dr Monro’s and his influence is evident on his work. In 1805 he set up as a drawing master in Kensington and returned to Calais in 1817 where he taught the young Bonington. Anthony Reed has dated this drawing to 1806-7 when Francia visited the Isle of Wight.
