Painting, watercolour, Cumrew, East Fellside, Cumberland,
by William James Blacklock, 1850-58?
This watercolour is a view facing west of Cumrew, East
Fellside on the edge of the Pennines in northern Cumbria;
not far from his family home at Cumwhitton. Foreground
consists of moorland scattered with birch trees in front of
a drystone wall. Beyond this can be seen to left of
composition a low stone cottage. Beyond are shadowy distant
fells of the Eden Valley and the northern fells of the Lake
District in the far distance. A fine example of a Blacklock
watercolour painted on the spot.
