Prospect of Worcester from the East

Unknown artist, c. 1750

This picture combines a charming depiction of 18th century farming activity - labourers cutting corn, raking, making a haystack, shooting partridge - with a strikingly accurate view of the cathedral and city of Worcester. The Malvern Hills are in the distance and shipping can be seen on the River Severn.
