Painting, watercolour, Islekirk Hall, Westward, Cumberland, by Samuel Bough, 1849.
Sunset scene; to right of foreground a stone farmhouse stands from which a winding pathway leads across a stream towards the village beyond. A single figure stands beneath the shade of a tree beside it, in middle distance. To left of composition rises a steep hill, partially ploughed, adjoined by woodland. Lengthy shadows are cast throughout.
