Summary
A lakeside scene with a small harbour; watercolour on paper. The harbour to the left has sand, palm trees and a muddy bank with two rowing boats moored against it. The lake has two small row boats, one on the right containing a number of people and another bank is visible in the background.
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.
