About the piece
Dating to 1775, this British School oil painting depicts a crisp white manor house nestled behind a protective fence and towering trees. The scene is enlivened by a figure in a striking red cloak and a rider on horseback, offering a tranquil glimpse into Georgian country life with cows grazing in the soft distance under a cloud-filled sky.
