Peploe began to paint en plein air in around 1896, in North Berwick, an elegant coastal town in East Lothian. He was attracted by the quality of light. This small, loosely handled work dates to circa 1903. The grey northern light at dusk contrasts with the bright Mediterranean light he was later to capture in France. However, the free brush strokes and rich, impasto paint become common characteristics of his later work.
This is the first time this painting has appeared on the open market.
