介绍（中）	Varley的清新水彩描绘了一个阳光明媚的夏日里的Thameside场景。它以一棵树枝展开、树叶繁茂的大树为中心，远处是一条半乡村的河岸，两旁是朴实无华的建筑和一座烟囱式的砖厂。快速应用的洗涤描述了一个板条栅栏的轮廓，映衬着阳光明媚的草地和从事日常任务的工人。柔和的笔触让人想起灯心草、花朵和一头饮水的奶牛。在他职业生涯的大部分时间里，这位艺术家致力于理想化的构图，展示了他作为一位成功的绘画大师所倡导的原则。此时此刻，公众对Varley的正式展览作品的兴趣已经减弱，他可以自由地在Hammersmith和Chiswick创作一组精彩的研究作品，这些作品的平淡效果表明了对他最有才华的学生之一Peter De Wint引入的技术创新的赞赏。
介绍（英）	Varley's delightfully fresh watercolor describes a Thameside scene on a sunny summer day. It centers on a large tree with spreading limbs and abundant foliage, a semi-rural riverbank beyond lined with unadorned buildings and a chimneyed brickworks. Rapidly applied washes describe a slatted fence silhouetted against sunlit grass and workers pursuing everyday tasks. Deft strokes evoke rushes, flowers and a drinking cow. For most of his career, the artist devoted himself to idealized compositions demonstrating principles that he promoted as a successful drawing master. At this moment, public interest in Varley's formal exhibition pieces had waned, and he felt free to create a group of brilliant studies in Hammersmith and Chiswick, their washy effects showing appreciation for technical innovations introduced by Peter De Wint, one of his most talented students.
