View near Lichfield - Morning is a 1794 watercolor by John Glover, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a small stream cutting through the foreground. Tall trees line the banks, their leaves a mix of green and brown. In the distance, a few cows graze near a small building, while two people walk along a path. The sky is soft and pale, giving the whole scene a gentle, peaceful mood.
