In case it interests anyone, I've just acquired two rather nice watercolours by Ebenezer Thomson Hoeck. 

They're of Siena in Italy, dated 1894 and clearly painted on location. Perhaps on his and Caroline's honeymoon? I attach a small detail of one of them.

He seems to have lived in Bruges for a while too, so maybe that's where they were in 1901. I'd guess that the 1st World War perhaps drove them back to Scotland?

Mark.
