In 1934 Eurich moved to Dibden Purlieu, Hampshire, having begun a series of successful exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery, under the patronage of Sir Edward Marsh and Rex Nan Kivell. The two had introduced Eurich to Christopher Wood, whose work had had a profound effect on the artist. Eurich began to focus on coastal and harbour scenes painted in a bold style with a rich colour palette, rather different to anything he had achieved before, though well-informed by Eurich's childhood holidays spent in Weymouth and on the North Yorkshire coast.

In this Cornish painting, we find an early example of the coastal subjects that would soon become the focus of Eurich's painting. In 1941, the Artist found employment as an Official War Artist for the Admiralty and, in turn, enjoyed a new level of success in his wider career. This popularity lead to his being elected an Associate of the RA in 1942, followed by his election to full membership in 1953.

Peyton Skipwith comments that 'Eurich analysed and developed his extraordinary ability to paint the sea, especially the English Channel, in all it's moods and in all weathers. As he recalled, he immersed himself completely in "the problems" of how to paint the sea, by which he meant "the structure of water, not just the sea as blue background with landscapes and harbours as the main feature"' (E. Chaney & C. Clearkin, 'Richard Eurich (1903- 1992) Visionary Artist', London, 2003, pp. 58 and 59).
