Print, Derwentwater, Cumberland, drawn by Philippe
Jacques de Loutherbourg, engraved by John Hassell,
1790-1809?
Windy day; in centre of composition, having come along the
lakeside path beside which stands a small house, a cowherd
drives a bull, a cow and a ram across the shallow water at
the edge of the choppy lake. He holds onto his hat as his
cloak swirls about him. Slanting rays of sunshine break
through the clouds overshadowing the fells rising to left of
composition.
