More about this scene

Well-nourished lambs, unshorn fleeces and lush foliage tell us that summer has just begun in this pastoral idyll. Livestock including sheep, cattle, poultry as well as agricultural produce were the mainstay of the villages surrounding Penrith until relatively recent times. They supplied the town's numerous markets until the railways opened up more distant ones.
