拍品专文

On 30 September 1837 Palmer married Hannah Linnell the eldest of John Linnell's nine children. They departed on their Italian honeymoon on 4 October in the company of George and Julia Richmond and their son. They returned to England in late November 1839. Palmer painted a view in oils of The Bay of Baiae, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1841, no. 1197. Lister, loc.cit., dates the present watercolour to 1841. Like his Royal Academy exhibition piece, it would have been based on sketches made during Palmer's visit to Italy.
