Painting, oil painting, Askham Mill, by Samuel Bough,

|
Fine autumn day; Askham mill stands to right of
composition beside a shallow stream. A mounted horseman
approaches it from the foreground, leading a second horse.
Tall oak trees stand on the left hand bank, at the foot of a
sloping field. In the middle distance the stream is crossed
by a two span stone bridge beyond which lie a distant lake
and fells, bathed in the glow of approaching sunset.
|
|
|
|
There was a corn mill at Askham, but a view with a bridge
behind does not have a lake behind that. ...

Autumnal landscape; in centre foreground a lone fisherman
stands on the bank of a wide shallow river, his back towards
the viewer, his rod raised in his right hand. To left of
composition stands a small stone mill, its chimney smoking.
The left bank of the river is heavily wooded.
