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.
