18th Century Watercolour - Taking Cows Across The Lake

A fine example of Georgian watercolor landscape painting, this scene, on laid, shows an expansive lake with rolling hills in the hazy distance. A man steers a small rowing boat to the shore, with two cows on board. A figure on horseback waits for them on the bank. The scene has been finished with heavier black line work, typical for this genre of painting at the time. The painting is unsigned and presented in a contemporary gilt effect frame with a beige card mount. On laid.
