Artist, British, 1782 - 1857

The image shows a pastoral scene with trees and hills in the distance. The horizon is above the trees on the left, with birds flying above. Delicate etching-like lines give detail to the foliage, a person on a bridge, and the scene. The color palette is predominantly sepia or black-and-white. Closest to us, a person stands on a wooden bridge looking at animals in the water. Lush vegetation surrounds the bridge, and a path leads to sheep grazing in the distance.
