This view is Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, between Blantyre Street and Riley Street, looking east towards Battersea Bridge. J.M.W. Turner once lived in the house to the left of the ivy covered building.
Maitland lived in the family home at 7 Edith Terrace, Chelsea from 1878 to 1889. In 1887 and 1888 he also used 12 Bolton Studios, the home of Theodore Roussel, as an address from which works were sent to exhibitions. Roussel (1847–1926) came to England from France in 1874.
‘The Three Public-Houses, Morning Sun Light’ was painted after Maitland met Roussel and became his part-time student. It is one of Maitland's largest paintings. According to the donor Roussel encouraged Maitland to exhibit his paintings and to paint larger works which could more suitably be exhibited.
