| Description |
This view of Ullswater was made on a tour of the Lake District; at least one other picture from this trip is recorded. In 1781 Barret exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy of a View of Windermere Lake, in Westmoreland, the effect, the sun beginning to appear in the morning, with the mists breaking and dispersing (no.40). A gouache of a similar view of Ullswater, in the National Gallery of Ireland, was the source for an engraving by Samuel Middiman for Select views in Great Britain. |
