About the piece
Painted in 1783 by Francis Wheatley, this oil study captures a serene moment at the Salmon Leap in Leixlip, Ireland. A group of women are depicted in various states of dress beside the frothing white water, framed by an overarching canopy of deep green trees and rocky outcroppings that create a sense of secluded natural beauty. The work beautifully balances the dynamic energy of the falls with the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of the wooded glen.
