Critical commentary
In Chambers Hall's list of drawings, sent to Oxford on 27 March 1855, the drawing is described as a 'study from nature probably English'. With little evidence the location has been linked with the views of Moor Park, from where the proposed date of c.1765 emerges. Solkin, however, argues convincingly for a later dating in Wilson's last decade.
