About the piece

Painted around 1750 by Thomas Gainsborough, this oil on canvas exemplifies the artist's early mastery of the English landscape. The scene depicts a peaceful pastoral setting with a wooden weir regulating a stream, while cattle and a lone figure resting under a weathered tree anchor the composition against a sky of luminous, towering clouds.
