Francis Henry Newbery was an influential artist and art educationist who, as headmaster/director, led the Glasgow School of Art from 1885–1918. He was responsible, in part, for the appointment of Charles Rennie Mackintosh as architect of the School's new building, completed in 1909. From about 1900 Newbery and his wife, and fellow artist, Jessie rented a house in the seaside village of Walberswick in Suffolk which was already a popular artists' colony. This painting shows the ferry on the River Blyth in Walberswick and was painted in a style reminiscent of the French painter Jean-François Millet and the Dutch painters of the Hague School – 'en plein air'.

This painting was lost in the fire in The Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art on 23rd May 2014.
