It belongs to the collection, but is not on display at present.
The naturalistic quality of this painting reflects Nasmyth’s method of making studies from nature which he then worked up into oils in his studio. It also exemplifies his penchant for painting scenes of picturesque decay with overgrown vegetation and his absorption of 17th-century, Dutch landscape painting, particularly work by Jacob van Ruisdael (1628/9-82) and Meindert Hobbema (1638-1709).
