At Hale, Lancashire
William Davis1860/1870
Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool
Liverpool, United Kingdom
One of the artist’s brightest and liveliest landscapes, painted with the careful detail of the Pre-Raphaelites but preserving a freshness which comes from direct experience of nature. A cottage with construction similar to the one shown here still stands in the village of Hale, just outside Liverpool.
