About the piece

Painted in 1911 by Arthur Streeton, this work captures the awe-inspiring scale of the North Yorkshire landscape. Streeton expertly balances the brilliant, light-struck faces of the limestone cliffs against the deep, cool shadows of the valley floor, where a small herd of cattle grazes near a mountain stream.
