Lot Essay

This landscape was painted at a time when life was extremely difficult for O'Connor, with virtually no sale for his work and the romanticism for which he was so well known gone from his pictures, But this landscape was generally regarded as an exception and a success when it was exhibited at the Academy in 1837
