Glover lived for a time near Ullswater, and he became known as the English Claude. A number of his classicising landscapes were in beautifully, and minutely rendered monochrome washes, as if painted using a Claude glass, a common device used to reflect and compose the landscape.
This exquisite study in tone faithfully renders the Lake District light and landscape, with which Glover was very familiar, as he was living close to Ullswater. It was formerly in the Arnold Fellows Collection.
