‘The Admiral’s Yacht and Victory, Portsmouth’
This particularly fine and evocative watercolour looks toward the mouth of the harbour, with Old Portsmouth to the left and HMS Victory in the centre, partially obscured by the Admiral's Yacht. Beyond to the right is HMS St Vincent which was moored near the mouth of Haslar Creek and served as a training ship for boy cadets for many years.
An example of Wyllie’s very best work dating from the early years of the 20th century.
