Springtime in Eskdale

Premium Wooden jigsaw puzzle, in a plum drawstring cloth bag*, placed into a plum and grey Wentworth branded box. Available in 4 sizes. James McIntosh Patrick's style has been compared to Breughel because of his bold colours and attention to detail. Springtime in Eskdale, is a detailed landscape painting of The Crooks in Eskdalemuir, Dumfriesshire which was the birthplace of the famous civil engineer and architect Thomas Telford. This painting by Patrick was completed in 1934 and was to mark the centenary of Telford’s death. In the middle ground we can see people visiting a cottage whilst further back we can just make out a farmer ploughing his land. Further back we see a small river at the foot of a line of hills, which rise into the background. The artist’s view of the scene is from a somewhat elevated position looking down at the farmland. *40 piece puzzles do not include a drawstring bag.
