Painting, watercolour, Bowder Stone, Borrowdale, Cumberland, by Francis Nicholson, 1808.
A stony path leads from foreground to Bowder Stone, which looms above two sightseers. Beyond it stands a small whitewashed cottage with smoking chimney. Vegetation covered crags rise to the right, with distant fells in centre of composition.
