About the piece
Painted around 1760 by George Barret, Sr., this masterful oil on canvas depicts the magnificent Powerscourt House in County Wicklow. The composition balances the architectural grandeur of the estate with the wild, natural beauty of the Irish countryside, dominated by the distinctive peak of the Great Sugar Loaf mountain and populated by pastoral figures and livestock in the foreground.
