Painting, oil painting, The Old Windmill,
Bowness-on-Solway, Bowness, Cumberland, about 1858.
View along the sandy foreshore with a small sailing boat
moored in the shallows in which a single fisherman tends to
his nets. To left, a youth strides across the sand with a
net slung over his shoulder. Yatchs sail on the estuary
beyond which rise distant hazy hills. To right of foreground
nets stand drying. A gentle grassy slope with a windmill
standing on it leads down to the foreshore to right of
composition.
