A beautiful 19th-century landscape painting depicting a peaceful rural view with a well-worn track and figure.
The artist has been influenced by the style of the French impressionists - as so many British painters were towards the end of the century. Often, they would merge their classical education with their own experiences of Paris - the result being a traditional landscape view created with looser brushwork and an emphasis on light.
The painting is signed David Bates in the lower left.
