Painting, watercolour, Grasmere Lake, Westmorland, by
Edward Arden, 1881-99.
Distant view of Grasmere from an elevated perspective. A
narrow path leads from foreground downhill towards a farm; a
woman and child, their backs to the viewer, walk hand in
hand towards it. To left of composition lies an ares of
woodland amidst the rolling landscape of fields, smoke
rising from the buildings which stand amongst the trees. The
lake lies in the centre of the composition; beyond it rise
barren fells.
