The Breezy Morn
Benjamin Williams Leader 1831 - 1923
Summary
A picturesque, romantic landscape scene. A lake lies stagnant in the foreground, with trees in the middleground, set against a highly illuminated, bleached sky. The trees are captured in motion, indicating that it is a bright, breezy day. Sheep graze in the distance. The English landscape appears naturalistic although idyllic and richly coloured, with tones of yellow, green and brown.
