Description: | Farmland and rural activities are typical of David Cox's work. Throughout history artists have often formed groups or partnerships, influencing and supporting each other to work in a particular genre. Here, the 'circle of' David Cox would have adopted similar techniques and subjects to the artist himself. This piece is painted in a sketchy style, resembling the manner of the Impressionists. Impressionism was a 19th century artistic movement which started in Paris, which ignited a revolution with an explosion of colour and movement, confounding critics and defying convention.
