Passengers<br><p>Wyllie and his wife frequently went on cruises, usually on board P &amp; O liners. In 1907 some of these watercolours made during such a cruise were exhibited at the Fine Art Society, London, at an exhibition entitled 'Pleasure Cruises in a P &amp; O from Spitzbergen to the Golden Horn', and it is probable that this unfinished watercolour dates from around that time. It shows passengers and a crewmember on board what is almost certainly a P &amp; O liner. On the left, two Edwardian ladies recline wrapped in blankets – one reading a book, the other sewing – while a steward stands behind them, and a male passenger – perhaps a husband – looks on.<br></p>
