Description: | There was always a ready market for tranquil country scenes like this one. Leader spent most of his working life in Worcester but Wales was a favourite destination of his. Early in his career his style was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite artists, who depicted nature in a very realistic way, but later he developed a much more fluid style, as seen here, which became very popular.
