Oil on canvas, 61 x 76 cm

James Ward is best known for his accomplished animal studies although he also expertly captured people and landscapes; in this composition, he brings all three components together to create an engaging scene.

The painting is signed and inscribed on the wagon: 'I.WARD.x/Paddington'.
