Image description

Apart from intervals in England, Lear lived principally abroad, travelling extensively on the Continent and further afield. He made thousands of rapid sketches, annotating them to provide information for finished works. Produced on his second trip to Sicily, this watercolour is the final study for a large oil painting (Private collection). Persuaded by William Holman Hunt to follow the Pre-Raphaelite practice of painting from nature, Lear worked alongside the artist at the Fairlight cliffs near Hastings, using this sketch for guidance.
