About the piece

Painted in 1798 by Nicholas Pocock, this landscape exemplifies the late 18th-century English tradition of the Picturesque. It depicts a quiet scene of rural life, with a family resting near a gnarly ancient oak while cattle graze in the soft, warm light of a setting sun against a backdrop of distant hills and a rustic cottage.
