This beautifully observed autumnal study shows the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites on the artist; the scene imbued with a stillness and air of reflective melancholia.

James Thomas Watts was born in Birmingham and ​attended King Edward's School before studying at the Birmingham School of Art. In his early career he was influenced by John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites.

​

He exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Institue of Painters in Watercolours. His work can be found in the Walker Gallery, Liverpool and elsewhere
