Footnote
In 1879 Brett took a cottage for three months from the beginning of July in the small village of Penally near Tenby, in order to explore and paint the Pembrokeshire coast. The view in this sketch is of Giltar Point, close to their cottage, with Caldy Island in the distance.
We are grateful to Charles Brett for his assistance in cataloguing this work.
