Langley was confronted at Newlyn by an influx of new artists, who painted almost exclusively in oils in the French plein-air manner inspired by Jules Bastien-Lepage. This represented a fresh challenge to Langley and this work was his response. The subject is the view, with photographic clarity, from the artist's home, Pembroke Lodge, looking down towards Newlyn.
