Brereton, Cheshire is a 1849 ink by Joseph Nash, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a large, old building with a big archway in the middle. It has many windows and two tall towers on either side of the arch. People are standing in front of the building, and one is riding a horse. The building looks very fancy, with lots of details carved into the stone. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and they seem to be talking to each other. The sky above the building is cloudy and gray. This painting is part of the Romanticism movement.
Joseph Nash (17 December 1809 – 19 December 1878) was an English watercolour painter and lithographer, specialising in historical buildings. His major work was the 4-volume Mansions of England in the Olden Time, published from 1839–49.
