Several groups of figures are scattered nearby. The foreground is filled by a wide river; a man and his dog are seated on the left hand bank. To right, a steep hillside rises above the wooded riverbank; one house is fully visible standing on the hilltop, a second being partially visible. The house is probably Hill House. item:- Tullie House Museum : 1936.4.2 Image © Tullie House Museum |
