Painting, watercolour, Landscape with a Farmyard Scene,
Cumbria, perhaps by Robert Carlyle snr, 1790s.
In the foreground, beside a lampost, an agricultural worker
wearing a smock sits astride one of the two ponies pulling
his cart in which stand a donkey, a cow and two calves?. He
looks over towards a thatched pigsty to extreme left of
composition outside which stand a pig and two boars. To
right of composition stands a barn. In the distance, beyond
a military looking building, lie distant hills beneath a
blue sky.
A farmer going to market?
