About the piece

Created around 1795 by George Augustus Wallis, this oil study captures the raw, textural beauty of the natural world. The composition focuses on the interplay between a splintered tree stump and weathered boulders, rendered with a sophisticated palette of earth tones and muted blues characteristic of the late 18th-century British landscape tradition.
