This watercolour by Joseph Clark shows a child’s return from the sea. It’s a quick, lively sketch painted before he finished a bigger oil version. Clark often used his own family as models in these studies. He made many drawings first to test poses and expressions. His oil painting, called *Home Again*, went on view at the Royal Academy in 1885. artist: Clark, Joseph
