Sobre la obra
Phyllis Ginger studied at the Richmond School of Art between 1932 and 1935. Although her main ambition was to be an illustrator, she was encouraged during her studies to also follow her interests in etching and portraiture. She exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy in 1938 and was elected to the Royal Watercolour society in 1952. In 1939 Phyllis Ginger was involved in the Pilgrim Trust scheme 'Recording Britain', which employed artists to depict topographical views of buildings and other characteristic sites perceived to be in danger of destruction by enemy action.

The sheet shows two sketches boats and a third sketch of a group of figures at Teddington Lock, a well-known place of recreation to the west of London. The outline of each figure has first been drawn in pen before the artist has added watercolour to bring depth to the composition. The dress of the group of figures in the top left of the sheet suggests that the work is from the late 1940s. This can be seen particularly in the length of the grey dress, reaching below the knees of the lady with her back to us. This reflects the artist's work as an illustrator for fashion magazines such as 'Harpers Bazaar' in the 1940s. Ginger's ability to capture the character of the figure carrying a basket in the bottom right of the page demonstrates her ability as an illustrator.
