Poynter painted two watercolours of Hardraw Force, England's largest unbroken waterfall, the present one in 1872 and another two years later from a slightly different perspective and with two female visitors for scale rather than the lone male spectator. The second picture was probably the example exhibited at the Dudley Gallery in 1874.
