and inscribed on artist's label, watercolour 30 x 26 cm. (11 x 10 in.) Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1903, cat.no.826 In late 1902 Hodgkins travelled to North Africa to paint in Morocco, journeying by caravan with her companion Mrs Ashington. Morocco provided a heightened sensation of colour and later in her life, she referred to her trip as ``the real beginning'' of her painting career. In April 1903 she returned to England where she exhibited at the Royal Academy in May and became the first New Zealand artist to have a work hung ``On The Line''.
