PROVENANCE:
Frost & Reed, Ltd., London, by 1958;
Daniel Rees Fine Art, Jackson, Michigan;
Private collection.
Boldrewood is a village near Lymington in Hampshire, in the New Forest, which held connections for Dawson. He enjoyed the forest and painted quite a few of these scenes, often giving them away to friends rather than selling through Frost & Reed. Lymington is a seafaring town near the Solent, the stretch of water which separates the Isle of Wight from the British mainland. An important shipping lane, the Solent and its bustle of activity inspired many of Dawson's maritime works.
