Thors was quite prodigious in his output.Thors was a draughtsman of peaceful little spots of nature, with their little hidden homesteads and winding paths, which he represents, in a refined and contemplative mood.Joseph Thors exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution and Suffolk Street between 1863 and 1900.
