Roberts became known for his paintings of Southern Europe and Orientalist views of the Near East, but he also produced a number of depictions of landscapes of his native Britain. The painting is now in the collection of the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London, having been bequeathed by Mrs. Pitman-Lovell in 1918.[3]
