Painting, oil painting, Rural Scene, Cumbria? attributed to Julius Caesar Ibbetson, 1800s.
Summertime; a man wearing the dress of an agrigultural worker waves goodbye to a woman standing in the doorway of a tiny ramshackle house in centre of composition. A second man lies in front of the building, a horse grazing nearby. To extreme right of composition stands a gnarled oak tree; between the tree and the house the rolling landscape unfolds in the distance.
