Painting, watercolour, The Old Tithe Barn, Carlisle, Cumberland, by Thomas Bushby, 1895.
Summertime; view of the old tithe barn seen from St Cuthbert's graveyard. Two children sit on the grass beside an empty wheelbarrow. To far right of composition the distant outskirts of Carlisle are seen above the perimeter wall.
The two children, Edith Ann Brannan and Maggie Mounsey, were asked to appear in this watercolour. Bushby told them it was for a Hudson Scott and Sons's biscuit tin.
