Answer
The decline in the quality of Etty's works is attributed to the 1840s, particularly after 1848, when his eyesight started to deteriorate, leading to a loss of detail and precision in his paintings. He continued to produce art, but the once-vibrant colors and intricate details that characterized his earlier works gradually diminished.
