About the piece
Painted in 1817 by John Crome, a leading figure of the Norwich School, this oil on panel captures a serene afternoon in Norfolk. The composition centers on a group of towering trees reflected in the still water, while figures bathing near a moored boat add a touch of genre life to the idyllic rural setting.
