Despite rarely leaving his native Yorkshire, Booth developed an international reputation as a leading botanical and natural history artist. He Spent much of his career in his private studio at home in Alwoodley – an 'inner sanctuary', which no one besides the artist was permitted to enter. Booth's meticulous rendering of wildlife, woodlands, meadows and heathland found admiration far beyond the bounds of his beloved Adel Woods, where he spent much of his time studying and refining his technique, even 'sleeping under hedgerows', remembers Peyton.

Starlings in a Winter Landscape was purchased in the 1980s from Henri Tiercet and owner of Henri Tiercet Galleries Inc...
