Painting, watercolour, The Walled City of Carlisle, Viewed from Stanwix, Carlisle, Cumberland, by Robert Carlyle snr, 1806?
Summertime; panoramic view of the city of Carlisle seen from an elevated perspective across the River Eden. The composition is framed on the left by a tall tree. To right, a lone man and his dog loiter at the water's edge near to three cattle standing in the shallows. Eden Bridge lies to far right of composition. Distant hills rise beyond the city. The date is problematic; an engraving taken from this work CALMG:1910.15 was published 2.10.1797; in this the number and disposition of figures is altered from those of the original.
