Hemy’s watercolours on paper were often painted with egg tempera – egg yolk mixed with watercolour paint which explains why they retain their fresh colour, when painted in thick layers the medium can simulate the appearance and texture of oil paints.
The painting was auctioned at Brightwells in June 2012, where it was incorrectly catalogued as, oil on board.
