The Victorian painting depicts a large farm house on the left-hand bank, a farm yard barn on the right-hand side, with a man holding a hose near a cart, with two other people on the left-hand side. There is a gaggle of geese on the left-hand side near small stream of water leading to a pond. In the background are a range of hills and trees against a cloudy sky. The painting has the skill to draw you in with its range of rustic colour hues and texture depicting the quintessential Welsh country scene, possibly painted in late summer. The Victorian oil picture canvass is signed “T. Thomas” in the bottom left corner and framed in its original fabulous ornate gilt frame, which is in excellent condition.
