Description

Watercolour over pencil heightened with touches of bodycolour on grey-blue paper. This dates from Callow’s tour of the south of France in the summer of 1836. His diary entry for 28th July is as follows: `My twenty-fourth birthday. On arrival at Marseilles went to bed till 8 A.M. Visited the quays and made a number of sketches of merchantmen coming into harbour’ (see William Callow – an Autobiography, 1908, p. 55).
