Footnote
This charming mixed media piece was realised a year after Beaton (still a student at the Glasgow School of Art) was awarded first prize in the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Award for a painting of her partner Paul. Watching the Boats' sketchy immediacy is typical of Beaton's drawings from this early period.
