Note:
Clausen worked in the studio of Edwin Long (1829-1891), before travelling to Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian, under William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) and Tony Robert-Fleury (1837-1911). He went on to become a founding member of the New English Art Club in 1886 and Master of the Art Workers' Guild in 1909, alongside his position at Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy.
Clausen's approach was heavily influenced by that of the Impressionists, with his work exhibiting a fascination with the play of light in a landscape, and his loose application of pigment evoking the movement of foliage and grasses in the wind.
