Wilson's career as a painter of rural subjects was defined when he saw the work of Frederick Walker (1840-1875) at the Great Exhibition in Paris of 1879, where he had been sent by Philip Cunliffe-Owen, a director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, to draw the English exhibits. Having started his career drawing works by Old Master and British artists for L'Art, a French periodical, he exhibited his first watercolour of the bucolic scenes by which he is best remembered in 1889. He exhibited thereafter mainly at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and at the Royal Academy.
This watercolour is similar to Flowers in Bloom another study of a lady collecting roses in her garden is a particuarlly beautiful and accomplished piece. It is in its original gold mount frame, signed to the bottom left.
