About the piece
Painted in 1795 by Benjamin West, this oil on canvas captures the industrious spirit of woodcutters amidst the ancient trees of Windsor Park. The composition expertly balances the dark, heavy foliage of the foreground with a luminous, atmospheric sky that opens toward a distant horizon, showcasing West's mastery of light and English landscape tradition.
