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. |
