Painting, oil painting, Carlisle from Etterby Scaur, Cumberland, by Samuel Bough, about 1840.
In foreground a wide river flows beside which stands a solitary fisherman. Beyond, to right, lie meadows with grazing sheep and a distant view of Carlisle. To left rises a steep bank with a path along which saunter families and couples.
The date is questionable as St Mary's Tower, depicted here, was demolished in 1835 but image also shows Dixon's Chimney.
