A truly superb example of William Callow's work.
He went on to study under Theodore and Thales Fielding, where he learnt intaglio print making skills.
In 1829 Callow worked as an engraver in Paris, where he worked alongside his friend Charles Bentley. Whilst there he was encouraged by Thomas Shotter Boys to take up watercolour painting again, and after exhibiting a watercolour of Richmond Hill in the Paris salon of 1831, he was offered a job teaching the family of King Louis Philippe I of France, and for several years gave lessons to the Duc de Nemours and Princess Clémentine, while his own works rapidly gained popularity in England.
Elected a member of the Old Water-Colour Society, Callow returned to London in 1841 and began to paint larger pictures, moving away from his earlier style. He travelled extensively in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland Greece and Italy and enjoyed favour with the royal family.
In 1855 he moved to Great Missenden, in Buckinghamshire, where he died in 1908.
