Description: | A landscape painting of Ullswater lake in Cumbria. High rugged mountains in the background appear bathed in sunlight. The foreground and near right are filled by a track along which a man walks into the distance. Two sheep graze, near centre.
'NCAM' impression in circle at brc., These scenes (Cat. 77 [NCM 1890-1222], 78 [NCM 1890-1221] & 79 [Sketch of landscape with cows, Victoria and Albert Museum (E3-1942)) are set in England but reflect the style that bought Copley Fielding [1787-1855] success in France alongside Bonington at the Paris Salon of 1824, when they both were awarded medals.
From the trees in the right foreground the eye is drawn to the activity taking place in front of the water which in turn leads back to mountains. Cat.78 uses the same compositional device. (Cambridge 2002).,
