At her lodgings in Selwood Terrace, South Kensington, London, Frances was within walking distance of the park. The watercolour was one of twelve she sent to the Otago Society's show in November 1901. 'It is evident' commented the reviewer, 'that Miss Hodgkins has already made considerable advance in her work, of which the colouring, as in her past work, is the most striking feature.
