‘The village maids with fearful glance avoid the ancient moss-grown wall, nor ever lead the merry dance among the groves of Cumnor Hall'.
The colouring and detail of the maids dresses are gorgeous. The three pretty maids are depicted against trees looking back across a lake to Cumnor Hall.
Signed and dated 1880 lower right.
