Information
Although there is no firm identification of the subject, it is likely that this watercolour depicts a view of Lake Geneva looking out from the town of Vevey, located at the northern end of the lake. A faint inscription at the bottom of the paper reads 'Vevey May 2[?]th' suggesting that this identification is the correct one. B. Cadbury bought it from the 1907 Fine Art Society Ruskin exhibition although it is unclear to which catalogue number this drawing relates.
- Presented by Paul Cadbury, 1958.
