Oxfordshire

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1906

A scene on the river in an unfashionable part of the outskirts of Oxford. On the left are trees, then low houses and plots of ground divided by palings which extend to the water's edge. On the right is a punt, cut by the edge of the plate ; beyond the mast of this punt is a man standing on the bank, then an angler, then a man in charge of a horse. Line almost effaced. Burr on tackle reduced. The horizon line is bare of trees for a tiny space (2 mm.) 5 to 7 mm. to left of the horse's forefoot.
