This composition borrows various motifs employed by Gaspard Dughet, most notably the architectural structures viewed across the lake at right, taken from a work in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (inv. no. 335). The drover and flock of sheep in the foreground derive from another Dughet, formerly in the collection of Sir Robert Walpole at Houghton Hall, from where it was acquired directly by the Hermitage, St. Petersburg in 1779 (inv. no. 1248). That work was engraved in reverse by F. Vivares in 1741, the year before the present work is dated.
Lambert repeated the present composition in a pastel, also signed and dated 1742 (location unknown; see Einberg, op. cit., no. P1742A).
