Description

Here we see golden light filter through trees, illuminating a stream cluttered with abandoned stones. The scene was painted on location in either Wimbledon Park in London, or near Hogsmil River in Ewell, Surrey. The artist was likely working side-by-side with fellow Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais. Both artists gave their landscapes a story by adding figures or, in this case, the ‘haunted manor’. Its windows reflect the evening sun as though they are ablaze. Hogsmil River also became the setting for Ophelia.
