Note:
The present dramatic, windswept landscape is typical of Watts' oeuvre, which was heavily influenced by John Constable (1776-1837), whilst also revealing a debt to earlier generations of Dutch landscape painters, which included figures such as Jacob van Ruisdael (1628/29-1682) and Meindert Hobbema (1638-1709).
