Leader is known to have made two visits to Switzerland: in 1872, and again in 1876 when he was on honeymoon with his wife, Mary Eastlake, great niece of the artist Charles Lock Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy from 1850 to 1865. The present lot is described in the 1875 Art Journal as 'wonderfully faithful to fact, and marvellously beautiful in itself, with its lichen-covered tree-trunks [...] and its stately pines clothing the mountain'.
