An impressive mid- to late career Bannister painting, this large study of foliage and shadows includes the unusual feature of what appears to be a female figure. The seated woman with a striking red ribbon on her hat is perhaps one of Bannister's students who had joined him on the painting outing - she appears to holding a pad or board.
