Patrick Nasmyth was known as "the English Hobbema." The influence of seventeenth-century Dutch landscapists such as Meyndert Hobbema (1638–1709) and Jacob van Ruisdael (1628/29–1682) is amply evident in this charmingly ramshackle scene of country life. Painted in 1828, it is one of several depictions of the same view—the subject was exceptionally popular—including an extremely close variant now in the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.
