From jacket: "Born into a Quaker medical family, Henry Scott Tuke studied painting at the Slade under Edward Poynter and won the Slade scholarship... Later, Tuke was to define his ideal sugbject as 'the nude in the open air', and his 'bathing pictures' are what he is now best known for. He was also a portraitist much in demand before the First World War, and an unsurpassed painter of ships, which were perhaps his greatest passion."
