Provenance
Artist's collection, thence by descent to his son Oliver Tyndale who gifted this work to his godson (the present owner).
The book Japanese Gardens by Mrs Basil Taylor (Harriet Osgood), first published in 1912, was illustrated by Walter Tyndale and included 28 pictures in colour. It is believed that the present work was created for the book but did not make the final cut.
