Footnote
Tuke visited Cassis with his friend Renny Stradling in January 1927 before driving to St. Tropez. After several weeks painting there he returned to Cassis in early March. Tuke describes in a letter to his sister, Maria, that 'there are some beautiful things here, but it is very tame after the other place.' (St. Tropez)
