Wyllie used a paintbox as we use a camera, this watercolour study was probably made during one of his early visits to France or Holland.

A seascape and sky study, probably made when Wyllie was a teenager. The view is from the beach at Wimereux near Bolougne where Wyllie's parents had an old Napoleonic guardhouse on the sands where they spent summers because, as a child Wyllie, had suffered from a bronchial condition agravated by the fogs and smogs of London.
