Footnote
William Peters Vannet studied under James McIntosh Patrick at Dundee College of Art. He worked in oil and watercolour and also made etchings, and often depicted maritime scenes around Arbroath or Holland. This view of the fishing town of Volendam in the northern Netherlands demonstrates his skill at evoking the harbour atmosphere.
