Munnings painted a series of works such as this over the years. It is believed that Violet is the woman depicted in the middle of the canoe. She was not a willing model especially after a friend of hers, who also posed, was inadvertently let fall in the river by Munnings. Violet described the scenes as 'a moist and muddy lady with a picture hat clinging like a cobweb to her face... But this incident... is nothing to the things as a wife of an artist have to undergo at times.'
