Scotby, Cumberland, by John Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
Summertime; in centre foreground two figures, one sitting on a block of masonry whilst the other stands, pause beside the railway line at the edge of a steep railway embankment. Scattered piles of masonry lie beside the tracks. Beyond lies wooded countryside with distant hills.
