<p>Painted at Morfa Nefyn in Wales, <i>Young Dreams</i> shows Hook’s abiding sympathy for children as well as his skill in evoking the beauties of a distant sea on a calm summer’s day. A comparison with a recent photograph of the same site demonstrates Hook’s principle of fidelity to the actual scene before him.</p><p><em>Gallery label, May 2007</em></p>
