View towards Ullswater, with figures

£525

Glover lived for a time near Ullswater, and he became known as the English Claude. A number of his classicising landscapes were in beautifully, and minutely rendered monochrome washes, as if painted using a Claude glass, a common device used to reflect and compose the landscape. This exquisitely painted and atmospheric view of Ullswater is a good example. It was formerly in the Arnold Fellows Collection.
