Art; Prints; Lithograph; Walter Greaves, the son of a Chelsea boat-builder, was a painter of armorial devices on boats and of watercolour views of the Thames at Chelsea. In the early 1 860s he met the artist Whistler and became his pupil, painting in a version of Whistler's style. "Hammersmith Bridge on Boat-Race Day' was about 1862 before Greaves was affected by Whistler and is a splendid example of his early, rather naive or 'primi- style in which the life of the river is vividly evoked in strongly designed, clearly coloured compositions. 8 X 10 inches, Matted, Fine. -
