Haddon Hall Steps, Derbyshire is a 1869 oil by William Powell Frith, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
The painting shows a stone staircase with a railing, set in a garden. At the bottom of the stairs, a woman in a long dress and a boy in a dark suit are walking together. A small black dog is in the foreground, on the left. The staircase is the central focus, with the surrounding trees and garden creating a sense of depth. The use of warm colors adds to the overall sense of tranquility. This scene might remind you of the work of artist William Powell Frith.
