About the piece

Benjamin Williams Leader’s 1881 masterpiece 'February Fill Dyke' depicts a flooded winter landscape common to the English countryside after heavy rains. The scene is dramatically illuminated by a luminous sunset, reflecting in the puddles of a rutted path that leads the eye past leafless trees toward a humble cottage and a distant church tower.
