Painting, watercolour, The Close of Day, Blackwell, St Cuthbert Without near Carlisle, Cumberland, by Thomas Bushby, 1908.
Evening; a still pool lies in the foreground, reflecting the silvery glow of the sky. Beyond it the roofs and chimneys of several buildings are silhouetted against the glimmering sky, all of which are enclosed by a stone wall. An ecclesiastical building stands to the right of the group, obscured by a tall oak tree. To right of composition, beyond an area of flat meadow, shine the lights of distant houses.
