This painting, Derby from the South-East, shows a serene landscape with a river running through it. The scene is set in the countryside, with trees and hills visible in the background. In the foreground, a figure in red is seen walking along the riverbank. The painting's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect. The artist's choice of colors, with muted tones dominating the palette, adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The painting is held at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, and is a great example of the artist's work.
