About the painting

Frederick Richard Lee (1798-1879) entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1818 after retiring from the army on the grounds of ill-health. During his lifetime he exhibited 171 landscapes at the Royal Academy, 131 at the British Institute and 24 at the Society of British Artists. He mainly painted views of Devon, which was where he was born, but also elsewhere in England, Wales and Scotland. This particular painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1836 and is possibly of the Lincolnshire coast.
