N. J. Duckworth, A Lakeland Farmstead, Watercolor on Paper, 1976 - A watercolor on paper depicting a traditional British rural landscape featuring a cluster of stone-built cottages and outbuildings. The representational composition shows a green meadow in the foreground defined by a post-and-wire fence, leading to a farmstead with whitewashed walls and slate roofs. The buildings are set against a backdrop of rolling verdant hills beneath a soft, cloud-filled sky. The work is signed in the lower left corner in dark pigment with the characters N J Duckworth above the digits 76. The painting is housed behind glass within a wide cream-coloured mount and a simple light-toned wooden frame. A rectangular orange adhesive label reading 141 is affixed to the lower right corner of the frame, and a small white adhesive label reading 4 is attached to the upper right corner of the mount.
