Painting, oil painting, Castle Rock, St John's in the Vale, Cumberland, by Joseph Barnes, 1886.
A remote farmstead stands in centre of composition, in the middle distance, smoke rising from its chimney. It stands at the foot of a towering ricky escarpment with a forest of fir trees to left, beside which a mountain stream tumbles downhill over huge boulders. The track to the farm, which leads into composition from lower right hand corner, is blocked by two highland cattle.
This painting is a copy of 'Castle Rock, Cumberland' 1877 watercolour by Henry Clarence Whaite in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
