Painting, watercolour, River Scene with Sand Carts, Cumbria, 1820s-30s.
Distant view of a hall and a substantial dwelling adjacent to it from the mudflats of a narrow estuary at low tide, or the muddy banks of a recently flooded river. To right of composition a group of men shovel sand; two horsedrawn carts wait nearby. Left hand side of composition is framed by a tall tree. Distant fells rise in the background.
