About the piece

Painted in 1849 by David Cox, this masterful oil painting depicts the vast, rolling landscape of the Vale of Clwyd. The composition is anchored by a cluster of tall, wind-swept trees and a busy flock of sheep being led through the verdant valley, all set beneath a beautifully rendered, light-filled sky that exemplifies the English landscape tradition.
