Description

Two shepherds talk whilst herding their sheep along a stone-walled road, with the hills of the Lake District behind them. Under the influence of J.M.W Turner and other artists, Cox’s watercolours became brighter and his handling more varied later in his career, as can be seen here in his treatment of the figures and trees. This watercolour would have been made on one of Cox’s numerous sketching tours of England.
