Critical commentary
Despite the Booth provenance and the Hastings etching this seems a doubtful picture. The background and sky are more convincing as being by Wilson than the foreground, trees and avenue. There the facture seems untypically minute and clumsily managed. In the upper centre of the tree at the centre left are patches of undifferentiated green and there are more all down the right side of the right-hand tree. In contrast to these generalised trees the buildings in the distance are more differentiated.
