Footnote: Provenance: Abbott and Holder, 30 Museum Street, London WC1 (Boats at low tide on the Deben) Shortly before his death, Churchyard took care to inscribe each of the important works in his studio with the names of his seven daughters - in this instance, 'Emma' and 'Kate'' (his second daughter and 'Catherine' his youngest). He thus ensured his estate would be divided equally after his death. He is recorded to have said at the time: "My dears, there will not be any money for you when I die, but I will leave you my paintings, which one day will be worth more than any money I could ever have hoped to have made".

Condition report: Condition appears fine.
