- Abstract
-
Watercolor drawing of Lady Diana Beauclerk's house, known as Little Marble Hill, in Twickenham. The white house is visible at left in the middle distance, viewed through an opening between two stands of trees. A woman sits on a stool and milks a cow in the field in the foreground; another cow lies on the grass nearby. To the right is the Thames, on which a sailboat and a rowboat travel; a man with a cane stands on the bank and looks out at the three men in the rowboat. The far bank of the river is visible in the distance; a few pinkish clouds fill the sky
