Description
English: 'Bateau pecheur', fishing boats off Naples, 1840

Callow was born in Greenwich and studied under Theodore Fielding along with Charles Bentley. In Paris during the 1830s he shared a studio with Thomas Shotter Boys through whom he was influenced by Richard Parkes Bonington. He took over Boys' studio in 1834 and built up a large practice teaching the French nobility, including the son and daughter of King Louis Philippe.

He undertook a series of long walking and sketching tours throughout Europe. This drawing dates from a walking tour in Italy in 1840. The drawing is signed and dated '17 October 1840', and bears the additional inscription, 'Drawing purchased by Prince Albert in 1841', which suggests that Prince Albert may have bought a more elaborate worked up version.
