Description
An eastward view from the western end of Llyn Nantlle, Gwynedd, North Wales, where a stream called Afon Llyfynwy runs out of the lake. Several boats are sailing on the lake and three figures in the centre foreground are silhouetted against it. Beyond them in the distance is Y Wyddfa, the summit of Snowdon, and beneath it a knoll, known as Clogwyn y Gareg. In the middle ground are the slopes of Mynydd Mawr (left) and two unidentified peaks (right).

Critical commentary
Clearly taken on the spot, the drawing is on two pages of a sketch book, each 162 mm (6 in.) wide. Other double pages from the same book seem to be D4 and D370. David Solkin proposed D263 as a single page from the same sketchbook and a further page with a drawing of a ruined tower is known but currently unlocated.
