Painting, watercolour, South East View of the Citadel of Carlisle, Cumberland, by Robert Carlyle snr, about 1792.
Citadel on a bright sunny day, its ramparts thrown into partial shadow. In the foreground two men, one holding a spade slung over his shoulder and the other leaning on a stick, stand conversing on a path which passes through the meadow in which there are two cows, one standing whilst the other lies down. Sandstone buildings lie to either side of the citadel, most of which have smoke issuing from their chimneys.
