Note:
Old Windsor Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England on the right bank beside Old Windsor, Berkshire.
De Bréanski Senior was celebrated for his resplendent views of the Welsh and Scottish Highlands, which were often, as in the present works, bathed in a flood of golden light, with water, cattle or sheep, and a solitary figure. Born in London, he made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872 and continued to exhibit there until 1918. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Cambrian Academy. His many patrons included the Bishop of Peterborough, who purchased the first picture he exhibited at the Royal Academy, entitled 'Evening: Softly falls the even light'.
