Mid-day Cheshire

Elias Bancroft 1846 - 1924

Summary

Rural farmyard scene in the English county of Cheshire. A woman is depicted standing in the doorway of a thatched roofed cottage, looking out towards a number of hens pecking in the foreground. To the right of the scene, a low hedge casts a shadow over the farmyard, behind which tall trees stand before the dwelling. In the distance, fields and trees line the horizon and sit beneath a blue cloudy sky.
