Painting, oil painting, View of the River Eden, Wetheral, Cumberland, by Samuel Bough, about 1845.
To left of foreground a woman walks along a country track, her back towards the viewer. A young man, accompanied by his dog, leans against a stone wall beyond which a steeply sloping field culminates in a cluster of cottages beside the river to right of composition. In middle distance stand a church and churchyard beyond which rises a viaduct with a steam train crossing it from right to left.
