The present watercolour, with its emphasis on the horizontal, captures the character of the Lincolnshire countryside. Sir Walter Armstrong noted that 'most of his early and valuable studies were made at Lincoln and the neighbourhood, where he ever found new beauties and new subjects...the cornfields and the hayfields.' (Memoir of the Life of Peter de Wint, London, 1888, p. 30).

Washingborough is a small village three miles east of the city of Lincoln, built on the site of a Bronze Age settlement alongside the River Witham.
