Early attractive watercolour by a noted Australian Impressionist, Sir John William Ashton. He was born in England in the family of artist James Ashton and immigrated to Adelaide with his family in 1884. John Ashton was educated at Prince Alfred College from 1889 to 1897 and studied drawing part-time. In 1900, he left for England and France, where he continued his art education until 1905. His works were accepted by the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1908, Ashton won the Wynne Prize for the best Australian landscape painting. The watercolour dates back to the early period of Ashton's artwork, before his departure to Europe in 1900.
