‘Cader Idris, North Wales’, by Herbert Hughes-Stanton (1870-1937), c.1918. This oil on canvas landscape depicts dry-stone walled fields in the foreground with one stand-alone figure. The lower-lying ground is shown to be wooded, with the rising ground covered in heathers. The background is dominated by mountains, shadowed by clouds.

Hughes-Stanton was a British watercolourist and landscape painter. He was a member of the Royal Academy and was made a knight of the realm in 1923. His work has been exhibited in major world galleries, including the Tate.
