“The Merciful Knight” at the Old Water-Colour Society
Elected an associate of the Society of Painters in Water-Colours (the “Old Water-Colour Society”), he exhibited there, among other works, “The Merciful Knight”, the first picture that fully revealed his ripened personality as an artist. The next six years saw a series of fine watercolours at the same gallery.
