Drawing, Above Rydal Falls, Westmorland, by John Harper, 1840.
View from above Rydal Falls near Rydal, Grasmere. View from hillside looking up the valley to falls with tarn and hills in the background. Framed by hills on each side. Executed in pencil with touches of white gouache on buff coloured paper. Preparatory sketch drawn on the spot by the artist.
(Looking up Rydal Fell to see a tarn is difficult.)
