A view of the harbour at St Ives, Cornwall, with Smeaton's Pier to the right. William Osborn lived in Draycott Terrace, St Ives in 1893 and at The Terrace, St Ives from 1894–6. Research by the donor among elderly residents of St Ives suggests that Osborn frequently needed to exchange paintings for food and lodgings, bartering works to earn a living.
A label on the back of the work suggests that the painting might have been exhibited at or purchased from Lanhams, St Ives.
