Private Collection, UK.

Note:
In 1855, Callow moved to Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire in 1855, very close to the site of the present work. He remained there until his death in 1908. Over his years, he was a prolific watercolourist whose quiet and contemplative landscapes earned him particular popularity amongst audiences in 19th-century Britain. His association with many of the most prominent contemporary watercolourists undoubtedly shaped his output, from his apprenticeship to Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding (1787-1855) to his friendships with Charles Bentley (1805/6-1854) and Thomas Shotter Boys (1803-1874).
