Comment
The subject is unknown, but the identification with Derbyshire may be due to nothing more profound than the presence of rocks in the right side of the picture. It is nothing like White Abbott’s style of drawing, but is clearly by a less capable pupil of Towne, who may have been copying one of his teacher’s drawings.
