Painting, oil painting, Buit's Castle, Bewcastle, Cumberland, by William James Blacklock, 1844.
To left of foreground cattle are grouped beside three spindly trees. A woman, her back to the viewer, carrying a basket balanced on her head, walks towards the ruins of a castle which are bathed in the rosy glow of a fading sunset. Distant hills lie beyond.
The identification of the place is uncertain: Bew Castle is not near the Gelt and Castle Carrock; the building in the picture has roughly the shape of Bew Castle, but where are the church and farm? : MN: 2012
