Painting, watercolour, View Looking to the Bridge on the
River Going to Ullswater, Pooley Bridge, Barton,
Westmorland, by Paul Sandby, 1760s-70s
Summertime; view of a wide gently flowing river from the
nearside bank with two cattle at the water's edge beside a
blasted oak tree which frames composition to left. Beyond,
the river is panned by a stone bridge, a small village
speading along the riverbank, partially screened by a stand
of trees. Barren fells rise beyond.
