Summary
A hilly landscape with buildings; watercolour on paper. The tops of trees line the base of the scene and behind these a large building with pointed roof and chimney stands beside a building with a porch. In the background a mountain range is visible. Mounted on paper. The subject is possibly the Church of Santa Croce.
Provenance
Lady Langford (née Legh) the daughter of the first Lord Newton, lived with Mrs Packer in her later years after they became friends when Mrs Packer managed a hotel for her. When Lady Langford died, she bequeathed some of her possessions to Mrs Packer. Mrs Packer gave the items to Lyme at various times but the information was not recorded properly at the time. Confirmed dates of arrival at Lyme are 1992, 1995 and 1999, but for some of the items, it is unclear which date they arrived.
