Summary

A picturesque landscape painting depicting an obscured view of Shere Church, Surrey, on a bright day. The viewer is initially drawn towards the meandering stream which leads the eye towards the church, seen through dark green trees which grow amidst a small meadow. The viewer is able to get a sense of the wide, open feeling of the landscape because of the expanse of land depicted. The scene is dominated by a large, white clouded sky.
