The Bell Inn is a 1805 oil by John Crome, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a rustic inn, with a large stone building and a smaller wooden structure attached to it. The inn has a sign with a bell on it, and there are people and animals outside. In the foreground, there's a man standing next to a woman who's holding a baby. There are also some cows and a cart. The background is a bit blurry, but it looks like there are some trees and a body of water. The artist who painted this scene was John Crome.
John Crome, once known as Old Crome to distinguish him from his artist son John Berney Crome, was an English landscape painter of the Romantic era, one of the principal artists and founding members of the Norwich School of painters.
