LUKE CLENNKLL 97 



The drawings shown at the exhibitions of the Old 

 Water Colour Society were chiefly figure groups of 

 contemporary life in picturesque aspects, soldiers, 

 smugglers, fishermen, country folk, &c., the works 

 of the landscape and figure artist rather than the 

 animal painter.

Fairly large sums have been paid for good 

 examples of Clennell's water-colour work in recent 

 years. In 1S80, at Mr. C. J. Pooley's sale, "The 

 Ferry Boat," a painting 32 inches by 17^ inches, 

 realised 64 guineas. 



Among Clennell's earlier paintings not pertaining 

 to sport were "The Arrival of the Mackerel Boat"
