Painting, watercolour, View on the River Eden, near
Carlisle, at Armathwaite? Cumberland, by Robert Carlyle snr,
about 1792.
Summertime; a family walks on the meadow beside the left
bank of River Eden which flows diagonally across
composition. To right of composition are two fishermen, one

The far riverbank is formed by a steep hill on the top of
which stands a substantial house with outbuildings. At its
base cattle stand in the shallows of the river.
