Painting, oil painting, On the Banks of Derwentwater, Silver Birch, Cumberland, by William James Blacklock, about 1843.
In foreground a young woman sits beside the lake in the shade of two tall birch trees, eating a solitary meal; she has a cloth spread over her lap and a flagon and basket standing beside her. Two long horned cows graze on the foreshore of the lake upon which two small boats sail. Distant fells rise beyond.
