Description: | Dawson was a self-taught artist but by the middle of the nineteenth century he had become one of the leading landscape artists of the time, exhibiting 28 works at the Royal Academy between 1838 and 1875. This delicate oil painting shows a subtle balance and harmony of light and colour. It is clear that the artist is concerned with capturing an essence of the light at this time day over the Bay. Instead of using bold and expressive colour as can be seen in some of the other pieces in this exhibition, Dawson focuses on gentle shifts of colour and shade to describe his scene.
